Kent's second studio album, it was produced by and features her husband, tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson.[2] In an interview with Billboard magazine to promote the album Kent said that "Even when I'm singing of unrequited love, it may not reflect my life, but the quality of the song allows me to deliver it truthfully".[2]

Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, thought that Kent "has an attractive voice and a lightly swinging style." He added that she "uplifts each of the familiar tunes slightly but does not add much of herself to the material," and concluded by remarking on her future potential.[1]
