AllMusic[1]

William Ruhlmann on AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five and commented that aside from the songs newly recorded for the album, "the resulting lineup fit for the most part into the "hit plus filler" formula of albums assembled mainly for people who didn't like to buy 45s."[1]
