Thom Jurek, in his review for AllMusic, noted that over the years, the elegance, mystery, sophistication and charm of Judy Collins' voice has not disappeared anywhere, on the contrary, he noticed that the voice has become richer and the range has expanded. He also stated that songs performed for decades still sound today without affectation or a hint of fatigue.[4]
