Richie Unterberger of AllMusic wrote that 'Nelson's mid-'60s albums would have seemed like far more respectable efforts had they been able to escape comparison with a fast-changing rock scene. which had some average contributions by above-average writers like Baker Knight and Jerry Fuller. An energetic stab at Chuck Berry's "I'm Talking About You," and a nice tune from the pen of ex-Cricket Sonny Curtis ("Don't Breathe a Word"), were mild highlights'.[7]

Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Album" review, and stated his easy-going ballads and delivered in his usual winning style. The songs are teen-grooved".[10]

Cashbox stated his "distinctive wide range baritone voice and emotion-packed delivery carries him in good stead."[11]

Variety praised Nelson for "his delivering his ballads with strong rock feeling and belting out the uptempo sides in a manner that should catch the teen beaters."[12]
