Critical reception
Bruce Eder of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "there's not a bad song, or even a less-than-first-rate performance anywhere on it." Robert Christgau gave the album a "B" grade, saying, "Gordon's nouveau rockabilly has always been a mite slick and a mite fast, and this is his best album because he's no longer hiding it--his blown notes are just blown notes, not stigmata of authenticity."
