Critical reception
In a review of the album, David Gonzales of AllMusic wrote: "Velasquez's voice is difficult to hear on the beginning of "Autumn Leaves", a problem which plagues other songs here, including "Sometime Somewhere", "If You Go Away", "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life", and "Run to You", among others. She sings in a very high, thin register in the beginning of many songs, and this probably contributes to the problem, but the technical mixing could have been better, too."
