On 19 October 1990, Adrian Jackson, the director of the Wangaratta Jazz Festival gave the album a positive review in the "Business Review Weekly" saying; "On her first jazz recording "Kate Ceberano and her Septet", she proved that she had a good voice and knew how to swing and have fun. Here, she takes the next step. Not only does she sparkle on songs such as 'Tight' and 'Talk to me Baby', she also sounds as if she knows what she's  doing talking about on numbers such as 'You're Blasé', 'Save You Love for Me' and 'Tryin' Times'. Some purists might harbour doubts about Ceberano's credibility as a jazz singer, but this album dispels them. Apart from the vocals, it also offers strong contributions from her band, including some brilliant piano from Jex Saarelaht". Charts. "Like Now" debuted at No. 47, before peaking at No. 18 in September 1990.
