At the time of the album's release, and Giving it four stars to indicate "strong sales potential",Billboard noted Vee "selected a flock of the biggest hits of the past decade and does them in his pleasant style",[7] while Cash Box thought "Youngsters will appreciate [Vee's] strict adherence to the original sounds" of past rock and roll hits.[8]

Retrospectively, Bruce Eder of AllMusic believes that "the album wears thin after a few spins" and "even though Vee's performances are good, the album is too calculated and workmanlike to transcend its humble origins."[1]
