In a retrospective review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann rated the album 3-out-of-5-stars, and wrote: "On her second album of pop standards, Carly Simon was a little less interested in the lovelorn songs that had filled 1981's Torch . For the most part, the theme was romantic, with classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Bewitched" handled in Simon's sexy, plaintive style." [3]
