Reception[edit]

William Ruhlmann of AllMusic called it an "one of Goulet's better collections and stated that "Anglicized foreign songs, such as "Just Say I Love Her (Dicitencello Vuie)" and Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)." Suddenly with this material, Goulet seemed less like a fading middle-of-the-road pop singer and more like a potential competitor to the mop-topped hordes".

Billboard praised [Goulet] for "his distinctive, powerful voice softly over a dozen pop ballads such as "Corcovado", "Just Say I Love Her,' "This Is All I Ask" and a fine tap"[7]
