Critical reception

Cash Box (August 3, 1963):

Ike & Tina Turner tag this new LP romp on Sue after a while-back hit called, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," and include eleven other r&b biggies of recent vintage. Most of the tunes here are up- tempo and the duo belts them out with unabashed good spirits. Jumping off with "Gonna Find Me A Substitute, "the pair also includes "Poor Fool" and "I'm Gonna Cut You Loose." The package looms as a moneymaker in the r&b markets. [4]

Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: This period of their discography is marked by burning early R&B fused with the same fireball energy of the also quickly developing rock & roll culture. Things slow down only slightly with the soulful title track and the swanky 'Why Should I,' but the energy is on ten for most of the set. [1]
