her debut album, which would also be used on 19 other Streisand album covers. The album made its digital debut on CD in 1987 and was re-released in a remastered CD edition on October 19, 1993. Critical reception AllMusic gave the album a retrospective five (out of five) stars, and called it "an essential recording in the field of pop vocals because it redefines that genre in contemporary terms," and "the first thing that strikes you listening to it, is that great voice. And it isn't just the sheer quality of the voice, its purity and its strength throughout its register, it's also the mastery of vocal effects that produce dramatic readings of the lyrics -- each song is like a one-act musical."
