The liner notes of the album were written by her mentor George Burns, who wrote: "When Ann-Margret first walked on the stage with our Las Vegas show a few months ago, her ability to reach the audience was immediately apparent. Even before she opened her mouth, the audience was charmed by her natural beauty and poise. Then she sang, and the people were captivated ... you can't hardly beat that combination of talent and beauty."[4]
Billboard rated the album as 4 stars, noting "here's a whole helping of the gal's unique style applied mostly to standards...the cover shows the gal in her leotard and red sweater in a series of colourful poses. Good, displayable item."[2] In their review of the album, Cashbox noted that the singer "has a small voice but through a knowledge of vocal tricks and mannerisms she effectively displays a style that should appeal strongly to the pop market."[5]
An expanded version of the album was released to streaming services in 2016 containing Ann-Margret's debut single, "Lost Love" and three other songs recorded in 1961 as bonus tracks.[6]
