In their review of the album, Billboard commented that "the singer's special vocal quality produces an intimate sense of involvement and that is how this LP comes off as a tie between entertainer and listener.

"[2] Cashbox noted that the album was "a specially priced and attractively designed two record set...it presents Melanie in the same frame of reference that brought her to such a peak of success on the concert scene where she remains quite happily.

"[3] Record Mirror called it "a very satisfying set, though much of the material is familiar, and the overall standard of sound is good.

"[4] Allmusic stated that Melanie "sounds like an artist on the verge of a nervous breakdown, battling chronic fatigue syndrome to boot.

Over four sides, she struggles through her back catalog and, judging by the performance, does so reluctantly...it's clear her heart's not in it.
