Critical reception
The Globe and Mail wrote that "the results aren't flashy – no two octave runs or glass-shattering falsetto sweeps here – but the warmth of the two voices together and Jackson's subtle and powerful solo work make young 'uns like Whitney and Bobby Brown sound like pale pretenders to the soul throne." The Boston Globe wrote that "Houston and Jackson alternate leads and join on thrilling duets in this live-sounding disc done with minimal overdubs." The Washington Post deemed the album "a series of alternately intimate and rousing duets."
