According to Robert Reynolds, in The Music of Bobby Vee, "it was a surprising comeback for him. Although music in general had changed, this album is reminiscent of the LPs he put out during earlier years, with this material all being fresh and new." [2] [ self-published source ]

The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart on October 7, 1967, remaining on the chart for 12 weeks and peaking at No. 66. [3] It reached No. 37 on the Cashbox albums chart. [4]

The album was released on compact disc by Collectables Records on October 17, 2000, as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 13 through 24 consisting of Vee's collaborative album from June 1963, Bobby Vee Meets the Ventures . [5] It was also released as one of two albums on one CD by Beat Goes On on February 14, 2001, paired with Vee's 1966 album, Look at Me Girl . [6]

[8] and number 2 in Canada. [9] The single reached number 15 on Billboard magazine's Year-End Hot 100 for 1967, [10] and number 29 in Canada.

Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album showed "instead of sounding like a Buddy Holly wannabe gone to seed, he['s] doing music that could just as easily have come from, say, the Classics IV or the Monkees, or any other contemporary rock act out of 1966–1967. The transition is nearly as jarring as that of Johnny Rivers from rock & roller to folk-rocker to contemporary songwriter, and fascinating as well as great listening." [1]

Cashbox described the album as "a fine showcase for the versatile talent of the artist." [15]

The Dayton Daily News said that Vee "soft-pedals some good contemporary music", adding, "Though he's backed by the Strangers, the LP belongs to him." [16]
