Following this album, Nunn went on to gain the rights for the usage of Berlin's name after legal wranglings with the founding member of the group, John Crawford.
Speaking to the Beaver County Times in 1992, Nunn said: "When I wrote this album, I'd planned to expose myself a lot more with my writing.
"[4] "Once Upon a Time" is based on the suicide of Nunn's father, while "Diane" speaks of domestic abuse from husband to wife.
[4] Upon release, Billboard felt the album was a "seriously out-of-date and thinly produced package", adding: "Playing out homogenized vocal and lyrical moves well mined by Pat Benatar a decade or more ago, Nunn overreaches on such tracks as "Desire Me" and the title track.
"[8] Brenda Herrmann of the Chicago Tribune felt Nunn still had a "wonderful voice", but that the album's material was weak.
On her solo debut, Nunn can't make up her mind whether to be the poor man's Johnette Napolitano, Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson or Debbie Harry.
"[7] Trouser Press commented: "This dull-as-dirt generic rock pancake fails to establish Nunn as anything but... the former singer of Berlin.
"[10] Alex Henderson of AllMusic said: "With Berlin having hit an artistic high note on 1986's Count Three and Pray, it was most regrettable when the trio broke up.
Nunn delivers a run-of-the-mill pop/rock offering that isn't terrible, but pales in comparison to her inspired performances on Berlin gems.
Despite a few decent spots, including the rap/rock protest song "89 Lines" and the single "Let Me Be the One," the album really isn't worth the price of admission.
