Review from the "Billboard" magazine for week ending January 27th, 1979:

RECOMMENDED
In an era of female singers with whispery little-girl voices, it's a treat to hear a lady who can belt out a tune with conviction and dynamics. The songs here allow her to use this power. They range from Bacharach's classic ballad "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and Webber & Rice's plaintive "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from "Evita" to Sedaka's bawdy "You Never Done It Like That." Excellent brassy orhcestral backdrops. Best cuts: Those cited and "How Insensitive," "This Is My Life," "The Greatest Love Of All."
