Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic gave this album a negative review, stating "Eliane Elias is a very talented acoustic pianist whose style at times hints at Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, but sounds quite individual. Unfortunately, this set is extremely lightweight. Most numbers have Elias doubling on synthesizers, with over half of the selections also including her wordless vocals; her voice is average at best. The tunes are moderately pop-ish without being memorable and Elias' piano playing is secondary to the weak melodies (all but "Let Me Go" are her originals) and so-so grooves. Eliane Elias is capable of so much better. Fortunately, there are many better Elias recordings available than this misfire."
