Reception

Richie Unterberger of
AllMusic
said that "Passable, mostly midtempo pop/rock that did little to either embarrass the singer or raise the listener's temperature. There are obscure songs by Mann-Weil ("I Don't Wanna Love You") and Charlie Rich ("Just a Little Bit Sweet"), but it all sounds like pleasant throwaway filler, the best cut being his cover of the great lost Drifters-like tune "I Wonder" (a small hit for the Pentagons in 1961).
[5]
Billboard
called it "easygoin' ballads with plenty of teen-sence romanti, and stated That "The beat is gentle and His delivery is in relaxed dual track."
[6]
Record Mirror
called it "late night listening" and stated that "It contains a number of pop standards well performed in a quiet sort of way"
[7]
Joe Selvin called it, "a lifeless event".
