Cashbox gave a positive review, saying that "Vee gets on the bandwagon to cash in on the click sound as he surveys a bag of rock tunes in the British manner", and calling it "a natural for top sales action". [8]

The Progress-Index wrote that "it was assumed [British invasion artists were] the only ones who knew what this sound was about. In this album Bobby Vee proves otherwise." [9]
