Commercial performance
The album was less successful than its predecessors, stalling at number 146 on the US album chart.[2] It did include two Top 40 hits, however: "Maybe I Know" and "Look of Love." "Maybe I Know" was also a Top 20 hit in the UK.[3]
Legacy
Retrospectively, AllMusic awarded the album three-and-a-half stars, and though commenting that the singles are the highlights, concluded that the album is "certainly one of her better" albums.[1]
