Critical reception

Elysa Gardner of USA Today found, "On her first secular album in more than 20 years, Holliday is in a romantic mood, letting her big, tangy voice tease and soar, then dip to sultry depths." ^[2]

With a 3.5/5 stars rating, Mark Deming of AllMusic claimed "With 2014's The Song Is You, Holliday makes her long-awaited return to pop music, lending her rich voice and passionate vocal style to a romantic set of standards and R&B classics." ^[1]
