Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Allan wrote of the album "...this album delivers some joyous, rollicking rockabilly, mixing early rock & roll classics with some country comforts. Although his singing strains a bit on the slow numbers, this American treasure comes through in grand style on the upbeat tunes." [1]
