 "The New York Times" suggested that the music had echoes of the duo's earlier works, giving it "a disappointing air of familiarity".The "Times" praised both Tyler and Johnson for their singing on the album, and while acknowledging that Traubel had difficulty making the transition from opera singer to Broadway belter, wrote that "for the most part, she makes the transfer amiably and effectively".The original cast recording was released on compact disc by RCA Victor Broadway in 1993.
