"Cash Box" (May 2, 1964): "Chances are Ike & Tina Turner will get back on the big hit track with this Warner Bros. bow. Side to watch is 'A Fool For A Fool,' an infectious rock-a-rhythmic cha cha weeper that has Ike's instrumentalists tastefully backing up Tina's winning (partly) multi-tracked vocal. Backing's a heartfelt beat-balled opus that also rates attention."
