Unterberger thought the album Fools Rush In, with its classic James Burton guitar work, overshadowed everything else on Nelson's second Decca album, which contained another big hit in the title track. The singer moved into some more country-oriented material on cuts like "A Legend in My Time," but as a whole the atmosphere was too sedate and the material was unexceptional, sometimes sounding like inferior derivations of his early-'60s hits for Imperial. [4]
Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Album" review, and stated that following hot on the heels of his current hit single, "Fools Rush In" is this designed to please young and old alike, and a generous serving of tunes to please the younger set such as "Hey There, Muss Tease" and "That's All She Wrote". [5]
Cash Box claimed "Jack Haskell has created some stunning, inmaginatve arrangements for a fine batch of evergreens and newer material". [6]
Record Mirror stated "All the tracks are extremely and well-performed and although many of them are not at all distinctive this is a common L.P. fault" [7]
