In 1989, Linda Ronstadt included three of Bonoff's compositions on her Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind album.[5][6] One, "All My Life," won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[7] In 1993, Wynonna Judd had a country music hit with Bonoff's "Tell Me Why," on which Bonoff played guitar and sang backing vocals.[7]

Reception

AllMusic's William Ruhlmann noted retrospectively that with this album Bonoff "once again demonstrated her talent for plaintive romantic ballads."[3] MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide wrote that the album "contains Bonoff's best batch of songs since her debut."[2] The Washington Post wrote that Bonoff "still creates sweet, simple melodies, and sings them with purity and sincerity, but they are sabotaged by vaporous lyrics that don't develop much beyond repeating titles like 'Tell Me Why' and 'Still Be Getting Over You.'"[8]
