The album also received critical reception. Brian Mansfield of
Allmusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 possible stars. "These Monument recordings document only about the first three years of her career, but they include some great records, especially 'Don't Touch Me,' 'I'll Love You More (Than You Need),' and the brutally fatalistic 'It's Only Love'," he wrote.[2]
