Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow noted that with this album, Wilson was at the "crossroads of her career".[1] A reviewer for New York wrote: "This disc benefits greatly from the strength of the material most of which was penned by Wilson and guitarist-co-producer Jean-Paul Bourelly".[7]
