The album debuted on Billboard magazine's album chart in the issue dated October 3, 1960, and stayed on the list for 27 weeks, during which time it peaked at number six.
Columbia reissued the album as two separate LPs in 1964 titled Ballads of Broadway and Rhythms of Broadway. The two-LP set was released for the first time on compact disc on June 7, 1999.
Reception
Billboard described it as a "power-packed item, from the chanter's pretty vocalizing, and smart Ralph Burns-Glenn Osser backings, to the attractive, eye-catching cover."
