The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer criticized some of the arrangements and wrote that "Connor runs into a bit of intonation trouble on "The Wind"". [5] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Although Ferguson gets to throw in some high-register blasts now and then, his orchestra is mostly used as a prop behind Connor. The singer does her best (her voice was in prime form around this time) but the flamboyant and often-pompous arrangements (which are uncredited) take away from any real spontaneity or swing. Charts for the companion Atlantic "Double Exposure" recorded in the same time frame (multiple sessions in late Dec 1960-early Jan 1961) are mostly credited to Don Sebesky, with two to Willie Maiden. An odd set". [4]
