AllMusic editor Ron Wynn found that Warwick "didn't get it on this 1975 release, as songs like 'Love Me One More Time' and 'Jealousy' were tentatively sung, burdened with unimpressive lyrics, or poorly produced." [3]

The highest-charting singles were the number six Chuck Berry cover "(You Never Can Tell) C'est la Vie" and the number eight "Making Believe". However, the album may be better known for including the first cover version of Townes Van Zandt's 1972 song "Pancho and Lefty", which subsequently became Van Zandt's best-known composition.

Respectively, these reached #8, #13, #5, #17 and #16 on the Hot Country Songs charts.

While the single did not chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, it did reach number 10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number 40 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
