In Billboard magazine's annual poll of country and western disc jockeys, it was ranked No. 6 among the "Favorite C&W Albums" of 1960.[2]

In July 1964, the album's fourth track, "I'm Getting Better", reached No. 3 on the Billboard country and western chart.[3]

AllMusic gave the album three-and-a-half stars, and critic Bruce Eder called it: "Superb countrypolitan pop by the man who practically invented the format, near the peak of his powers as a singer."[4]
