Bruce Eder of AllMusic praises Vee's covers of tracks such as Buddy Holly's "Love's Made a Fool of You" and Paul Anka's "Each Night", but believes "the overall album is decidedly uneven in approach and results, but what does work here as rock & roll and decent teen pop is enough to make it worth hearing".[1] Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Album" review, stating that it featured "good classy string backings".[13] Cash Box described the album as "Powerful" and noted "a variety of moods with various accompaniments"[14] New Record Mirror said Vee proves "himself to be a much better vocalist than some of his pop singles would have led you to believe" and "provides a most entertaining session on this LP."[10] Nigel Hunter of Disc notes "Vee works through up-tempo and slow teen-type ballads."[12] Track listingSide one
