Reception

Rolling Stone's Stephen Holder said the album was "one of the year's most melodic" and "expresses, with warmth, humor and expertise, a special feeling for mid-Sixties rock." Holder notes that Gold "recaptures the essential spirit of 1964-65 Beatles music" and that his "ballads are as captivating as his rockers, if not more so."

AllMusic's James Chrispell said the album contains "[a]n abundance of riches." Noting "[t]here are great Beatlesque melodies here, as well as heartfelt love songs that are Gold's specialties."
