The Allmusic review by Bruce Eder awarded the album three and a half stars and said that Vaughan "brings an almost chameleon-like presence to this album...which encompasses a decidedly – almost defiantly – contemporary repertory...The accompaniments may almost be too busy for what the songs themselves can bear, but Vaughan always keeps up regardless of the settings and arrangements...On that basis alone, it's a lot more than a mere curio in her output from this period".^[1]
