AllMusic[1]

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music[8]

Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album "showed [Vee] belatedly abandoning his early-'60s teen pop sound and suddenly working within what sounded like a group context, with guitar-bass-drums accompaniment and doing songs that not only had a beat but also a modern edge, including "Sunny," "Summer in the City," "Look at Me Girl," with just a couple of songs that recalled his earlier work."[1]

Billboard mentioned that Vee's "old familiar style" became more distinct as the album progressed."[9]

Record Mirror stated that there was little to recommend from the album apart from Vee's "ever pleasant inoffensive voice".[7]

Cashbox gave a positive review, saying that Vee "goes off into such different sounds as "Lil' Red Riding Hood", "Sweet Pea", and "Sunny" for a host of easily recognizable sounds rendered with smooth individuality."[10]

Ottawa Journal praised The Strangers along with Vee's singing, mentioning that Vee had not "lost his vocal punch".[11]
