The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three stars and remarking on Clooney's final performance said that "Not surprisingly...there isn't anything about it to suggest finality specifically. But, as an appearance by a veteran performer with a long career to draw upon, it necessarily had a retrospective feel and, occurring only two months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, it concluded with a reverent tone, Clooney's first recording of 'God Bless America'."[1]
