Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that "although there would always be some bright spots worth a listen (usually in the form of James Burton solos). The material often recalls, but does not match, his earlier '60s ballads such as "Travelin' Man." "Gypsy Woman" is an uncommonly tough number for the period, and "I Will Follow You" is a decent cover of the Little Peggy March hit "I Will Follow Him." [1]
Billboard described the album as a "a Listenable Album", and praised that it features "a flock of other goodies." [8]
Cashbox described the album as a "professional, wide-range voice and distinctive style carries him in good stead." [9]
Record Mirror described the album as "a fine album in Rick Nelson in typical style" [10]
The Evening Independent described the album as "a well-balanced program." [11]
