This LP made history, being the first to carry a Billie's live register, the JATP concerts. Clef Records' press release quotes Down Beat magazine:
"These were recorded at a JATP concert in LA, and never again will Billie sound this wonderful. The years that have passed since then have taken their toll on the great stylist, but this all happened on a night when she had everything, and you don't find this LP to be one of the most emotional half-hours you've ever spent, there's something wrong. (...) Certainly one of the outstanding records in years (J.T.)"
