Critical reception
In the issue date August 30, 1975, '' Billboard'' published a review that said, "As always when the pair get together, a fine set of love songs giving each a chance to display their vocal wares separately as well as working in their general perfectly succinct harmony. Dolly is enjoying her strongest period of success as a solo yet and Wagoner is a consistent chart maker, yet together they always seem to rise to new heights. Material a bit more on the straight country side than their solo material, with the writing split as usual fairly evenly between the two. Production of Porter is excellent. Instrumentally, fiddle and guitar work in particular shines on this set." '' Cashbox'' also published a review in their August 30 issue which said, "Running the gamut of most every phase of love, this Porter and Dolly LP includes "Something to Reach For", "If You Were Mine", "I Have No Right to Care", "The Beginning", "Our Love," "Again", "How Can I (Help You Forgive Me)", "Love to See Us Through", and of course the title song, which is also their current chart climbing single, "Say Forever You'll Be Mine". The sound is gentle and pure country, serving as a perfect foil for the cameo performance of these two great country artists."Commercial performance
