AllMusic[3]

AllMusic reviewer Ron Wynn said: "Decent set featuring the highly stylized, often erratic vocalist Lorez Alexandria doing conventional jazz and jazz-centered pop tunes and standards. She's backed by a capable band, and sometimes has some brilliant moments, but overall, Alexandria was an average vocalist."[3]
