The AllMusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three stars and said "From the beginning, the two singers display a rapport, with Jackson, who has a more distinctive voice and a more natural performing style than Feinstein, helping his better-known partner loosen up and wail...Musically at least, Cheyenne Jackson is one of the best things that's ever happened to him." [1]
