The AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann wrote that "These are calm, quiet performances, which can give the songs an air of restrained passion", and commented that this approach works well on some songs but could be lacking in expression.[2] An All About Jazz reviewer commented that Cameron lacked variety in her approach to the different songs.[3]
