The Allmusic review by Aaron Latham awarded the album 3½ stars and stated of Shearing that the "album's low-key approach leaves little room for him to shine", but praised Feinstein as "pitch-perfect" and that he "squeezes every ounce of good sentimentality out of each lyric".Latham, A [{{AllMusic|class=album|id=hopeless-romantics-r793704|pure_url=yes}} Allmusic Review] accessed October 24, 2010
