Billboard published a review in the June 21, 1975 issue that said, "Put them together and what do you have? A flock of hits, that's what. Loretta gets a little farther away from the traditional every time she sings, and Conway just keeps getting better and better. Together they are unbeatable. Great collection of songs, fine arrangements, that Owen Bradley touch in production, and another great album." The review noted "I'll Never Get Tired (Of Saying I Love You)", "Little Boy Love", "You Done Lost Your Baby", and "Some Kind of a Woman" as the best cuts on the album with a not to album dealers saying, "It's the hottest pair going."{{cite web |title=Billboard - June 21, 1975 |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/70s/1975/Billboard%201975-06-21.pdf |website=American Radio History |publisher=Billboard |accessdate=9 April 2019}}
