| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic awarded the album 2 stars stating "the sound reproduction is flawless. Unfortunately the quality of the music itself is not high at all. The repertoire includes more than its share of losers... the arrangements are quite dull and Crawford does little more than caress the melodies. Definitely a lesser effort."[2]
