AllMusic     [1]

Richie Unterberger of AllMusic stated "Featuring her number two R&B single (and Top 40 pop hit) 'There'll Come a Time,' this has much more of a sweet soul flavor than her Vee-Jay sides, at times blending the trademarks of her brassy native Chicago scene with a Philadelphia influence."[1]
