In his review of the album for Allmusic, Scott Yanow described it as "...the type of session that killed Blue Note the first time around." adding that McRae "gamely tries to interpret unsuitable and inferior pop tunes ("The Man I Love" and "A Child Is Born" are the only exceptions) and is backed by an all-star but faceless orchestra that is given nothing to do. ...The trumpet section...is not given a single solo. The title cut is quite ludicrous and songs such as "Only Women Bleed" and "I Wish You Well" do not fit McRae's style at all."[1]
