The Washington Post panned "the selection of such bland, easy-listening ballads" and "Lee's polished but undistinguished voice."[5] The Calgary Herald noted that Lee's "singing talent is just good enough to get her booked into better bowling alley lounges, but either she or her manager has figured the road to success is fast and easy when carbon copies of pop hits are cranked out and peddled as country."[4]
