The album was reviewed by Dave Nathan for [[Allmusic]] who wrote that "The program balances up-tempo numbers and ballads with matching May orchestrations. The slower numbers are enhanced by strings, while the faster numbers feature Mays's trademark fluttering flutes juxtaposed with blaring brass".

Reception

[edit]

The initial Billboard magazine review from October 20, 1958 commented that "Miss Smith really has a way with a song. Her ballads are lush and lovely and she swings on the up-tempo tunes. ...Attractive cover drawing of the chick will attract".[3]

The album was reviewed by Dave Nathan for Allmusic who wrote that "The program balances up-tempo numbers and ballads with matching May orchestrations. The slower numbers are enhanced by strings, while the faster numbers feature Mays's trademark fluttering flutes juxtaposed with blaring brass". Nathan praised Smith's "...earnestness with which she delivered each song, regardless of tempo. This left the impression that she sincerely believed in each word of the lyrics".[2]
