Joe Viglione of AllMusic said that "the hits have a timeless charm that puts them in a class above much of the close-to filler material here -- covers of Johnny Tillotson's "Poetry in Motion," the Chordettes/the Four Aces '50s hit "Mr. Sandman," the Fireballs/the Crickets "More Than I Can Say" (an eventual hit for Leo Sayer), and Little Willie John's "Talk to Me, Talk to Me". Of course with the hit songs to carry it, the "teen idol" look of the album and familiar material from other sources made for good marketing"
Billboard in its Spotlight of the Week album reviews stated that "two big hits are featured... along with "Mister Sandman", "Long Lonely Nights"
Cashbox mentioned that album "has the teeners solidly in mind."
