Reception

Nick Dedina of AllMusic gave the album a strong review and said, Damone's voice is as beautiful as ever and he finds a nice balance between intimate romance and winking good humor. though he throws in plenty of jazz guitar. lets listeners know that the album is really geared toward amorous conquests and romantic evenings at home."[4]

Billboard notes "The set swings politely throught most of the album in an adult dance tempo groove, Jack Marshall is responsible for the compatable backgrounds."[5]
