Background

Allmusic | [1] |
Allmusic editor Lindsay Planer gave the album three stars out of five. He remarked that while "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "I Smiled Yesterday" had "also been included on Warwick's debut album, Presenting Dionne Warwick. However, that didn't seem to deter listeners eager for new tunes. Warwick's musical mentors and collaborators Burt Bacharach and Hal David also presented the singer with several additional compositions that would become signature songs for other performers in the ensuing years."[1]
