''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' reviewed the album in the April 15, 1989 issue. The review said, "Although this album has fewer memorable songs than the stunning ''Heartland'', it is still a pure sonic feast. Wynonna Judd's straining-at-the-leash lead vocals perfectly counterpoint the sparkling minimalist instrumentation, and there is a full range of styles–from the breezy jazziness of "Not My Baby" to the canonical country of "Guardian Angels". Among the song contributors are Mark Knopfler, Felice & Boudleaux Bryant, Carl Perkins, Don Schlitz, the ever-present Paul Kenenrley, and Naomi Judd."<ref>{{cite web |title=Album Reviews / Spotlight |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/80s/1989/BB-1989-04-15.pdf |website=World Radio History |publisher=Billboard |access-date=May 13, 2022 |page=78 |date=April 15, 1989}}</ref>


''[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cashbox]]'' also published review in their April 15, 1989 issue which said, "Wynonna and Naomi present possibly their last album for Curb/RCA with all the style and flair inherent in their usual recorded efforts. Wynonna shows an even greater depth of vocal delivery here, especially on tunes like “One Woman Man” and "Cadillac Red" (which was co- written by Naomi with J. Jarvis and Craig Bickhardt). Naomi also co-wrote two other tunes ("River of Time" and "Guardian Angels"), both of which display the emergence of a talented songwriter. Now at number 11 on the top 100 with "Young Love", the Judds should continue their charting sweep with several other hot tunes. Best cut overall would have to be the Mark Knopfler-penned "Water of Love”, a soul-wrencher with stellar guitar accompaniment."<ref>{{cite web |title=Country Music / Album Releases |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1989/CB-1989-04-15.pdf |website=World Radio History |publisher=Cashbox |access-date=May 13, 2022 |page=25 |date=April 15, 1989}}</ref>
