AllMusic	[3]

In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote that "the songs are ably written, and Driver can sing to boot", describing the album as "pleasant, breezy, and gentle." On a more negative note, Jurek opined that "[the] songs possess no edge -- nothing to distinguish them whatsoever other than that they were recorded by a famous actress." He concluded the review by stating that the album "is a curiosity piece and little more." ^[3]
