It was Warwick's first Scepter album to make the Top 40, climbing to #18 on "Billboard"'s Top LP's chart, and also her first album to be RIAA-certified gold  in America, signifying sales of more than 500,000 copies. It also hit #1 on Billboard's R&B albums chart. The album's cover art did not feature Warwick but instead a photograph of a sunset with two anonymous lovers on a beach. Two of Warwick's hit singles from 1966 were included on the album: her Top 20 covers of Bacharach and David's "Trains and Boats and Planes" and "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself". Also of note was Warwick's version of "Alfie", which she performed at the 1967 Academy Awards. This version became  a bigger Top 40 hit than any of the 40-plus versions that had previously been recorded, peaking at no. 15 on "Billboard"'s Hot 100 in the summer of 1967 during a then unusually lengthy 17-week chart run. It also reached no. 5 on "Billboard"'s R&B chart. Other songs of note on the album are the Bacharach and David-penned title track; Warwick's reading of "What The World Needs Now Is Love"; Charles Trenet's "I Wish You Love"; and an unlikely cover of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind".
