Reception
The album was met with positive reviews. Billboard praised the album for its top arrangement, production and performance. Greg Adams of AllMusic praised the album for the songs' poetic lyrics and the soft instrumental blend of strings and occasional flute, but states that their song covers have more quality compared to their original songs. The Rolling Stone Album Guide called the title song one of the group's "mandatory furtive-grope numbers at proms of the period," writing that it "later became an elevator music" standard.
