In his Allmusic review, critic JT Griffith wrote "The Shadow of Your Smile began the second highly successful period in the artist's career, after the "Splish Splash" and "Mack the Knife" days. In a Broadway Bag continued that success, and "Mame" was his biggest hit in three years. In a Broadway Bag is generally considered one of Bobby Darin's best (and certainly most cohesive) LPs." [1]

Billboard gave the album a postive review, saying "The Outstanding [from this album] are "Feelin' Good", "Don't Rain on My Parade, "Everybody Has the Right to be Wrong" [3]
