The initial Billboard magazine review from February 13, 1965 commented that "Rack up another winner for Dino...well chosen material, well performed and strong support from Ernie Freeman's arrangements".[4]

William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five and commented that the production formula of Bowen and Freeman was "already sounding very repetitious".[2]
