The title track, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSo Nice (Samba de Verao)\u003c\/span\u003e, was a notable hit, peaking at No. 17 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart and remaining there for seven weeks. The album itself reached No. 50 on Billboard's Top LP's chart over an 18-week run, reflecting Mathis' ability to blend pop, jazz, and Broadway styles during a transitional period in his career. Critics, such as Allmusic's Joe Viglione, praised Mathis' vocal precision and the album's sophisticated arrangements, particularly highlighting tracks like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Music That Makes Me Dance\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Dream of You\u003c\/span\u003e for their emotional depth and elegance.
