Critical reception
William Ruhlmann stated in his AllMusic review that "Olivor seemed at the start of her career to be creating a new form of light pop music that plumbed the complex emotional depths first investigated by confessional singer/songwriters, yet employed a sophistication associated with an earlier generation of singers."[1]
Jonathan Frank of Talkin Broadway wrote, First Night was named Album of the Year by Stereo Review. Her early reviews compared her to Barbara Streisand and Edith Piaf.[2] Coast to Coast Tickets[3] and Corporate Artists[4] verified this as well.
