The initial Billboard magazine review from August 11, 1962 commented that "The thrush shows off her own, stylish way with a pop song on this album cover over a lush string choir...Lass does a fine job here".[6]

Stephen Cook reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album "...contains Wilson's standard program of easy swingers and ballads that show off her impeccable phrasing while sporting George Shearing's luxurious string charts in hits hits like "Little Girl Blue" and "Back in Your Own Backyard." One also hears Wilson's burgeoning talent for vocal drama as she evokes a variety of moods on "Miss Otis Regrets" and "Little Girl Blue."...the listening pleasure is found mostly in her signature urbane pop sound".[4]
