The album was heralded as a mild success, popularizing on some of the themes of the times.[2] The song "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" charted fairly well on the U.S. R&B front. Being the first of her kind to do so, Bofill's sophisticated vocals would prove to have an effect on the jazz, Latin and urban contemporary music audiences of the time.[3]
