Jonathan Takiff of the Philadelphia Inquirer declared, "Carne owns one of the most pliant, expressive voices in soul-land, rivalling those of Patti LaBelle and Anita Baker for shivers-up-the-spine dramatic effect. And this time out, she's very well matched to grown-up ballad music and arrangements in the Al Jarreau crossover style. With (Grover) Washington adding some inspired sax work, "Closer Than Close" hits home from first track to last." ^[4]
