Review
Steve Leggett of Allmusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 saying, “(Cassidy) was a masterful song interpreter, able to take on almost any song in any style or genre and spin her voice around it, giving it a kind of haunting and sincere freshness. This set makes a great introduction to Cassidy's style and substance “.[2]
Simon Gage of Express gave the album 4 out of 5 saying, “Cassidy's voice is honestly nothing extraordinary but somehow touching and lovely” concluding with “Simple and beautiful.” [3]
Lebohang Nthongoa of Times Live gave the album 9 out of 10 saying, “This album is all about beautiful music and pure singing talent, with no frills, bells or whistles! I find very little fault in this album: from the choice of songs to the way they are covered makes for a great album.” [4]
