The album received mixed to favorable reviews from music critics.
AllMusic website gave the album two out of five stars and pointed out that the album "finds Dietrich in a sly, almost silly mood, singing with lusty humor and coy flirtatiousness" and that "Dietrich's voice is huskier than it was in her heyday, but this suits the material, which has been rearranged to fit her new lower register, very well".
Billboard magazine includes the album in their list of "Strongest sales potential of all albums reviewed this week" and wrotes that Dietrich "has never sound better" and praised the cover and the artwork of the album.
