Darin at the Copa

Reception

Music critic John Bush wrote in his Allmusic review "A complete entertainer, Darin only occasionally concentrates on the business of singing, making Darin at the Copa the type of concert work that rarely succeeds as a purely aural recording. Bobby Darin is obviously performing, not just singing, and listeners are often left out during his countless jokes and vocal asides—each of which get enormous responses from the original audience. The music is solid and Darin does his finger-popping best, but he walks a thin line between swinging and an outrageous parody of same... listening decades later, it's difficult to avoid the wish he'd played this date just a bit more straight."
