“Although far from the peak of her vocal powers, Peggy Lee at 62 is still an intensely absorbing pop-jazz vocalist. Health problems, including a serious stroke, have given Miss Lee’s dreamy passivity an occasionally disconnected air, but the singer hasn’t lost her ability to invest the subtlest hesitations of phrase and bending of notes with intimations of mischief and eroticism. This blend of playfulness and glamour, along with an aura of metaphysical contemplation, helps make the musical special…a compelling retrospective… With her blond hair wrapped in a spangly headdress, Miss Lee is a ghostly temptress purring of final things in a voice that’s often no more than a tremulous whisper. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, 8/31/84
