William Ruhlmann reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Working with sympathetic arrangements by conductor André Previn, [Shore] essayed a set of ballad standards for an album that ranked with the kind of LPs that Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat "King" Cole, Peggy Lee and Judy Garland were recording at Capitol at the same time. By now, with her TV stardom, her days as a major recording artist were behind her, which in retrospect is too bad, because albums like this should have raised her critical standing to a par with that of her label mates".[2]
