This is part of Motown's "Classic Albums" series.
Her self-titled debut LP (later retitled Ain't No Mountain High Enough after the single became a hit) was arguably her finest solo work at Motown and perhaps her best ever; it was certainly among her most stunning. Everyone who doubted whether Diana Ross could sustain a career outside the Supremes found out immediately that she would be a star. The single "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" remains a staple in her shows, and is still her finest message track. ~ Ron Wynn
Critic Reviews

Q (6/02, p.140) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Her self-titled 1970 debut took her into the capable hands of songwriting duo Nick Ashford & Val Simpson. The pair's blown-up balladeering and early disco learnings worked a treat scoring Ross a Number 1 with 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'..."
Living Blues (7-8/02, p.84) - "...A legitimate soulful triumph..."
