On the album's release in 1963, music critic Bill Hitch wrote: "Heartbreak is the trademark of this singing and Kitty's simple, plaintive vocalising calls a spade a spade and reduces the problem of love to basic terms." [3]
Thom Owens of Allmusic called it "a strong compilation" that "remains entertaining." [4]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide gave the album three stars and cautioned that the collection consisted of "re-recordings that find Wells fully embracing the Nashville Sound, with strings and vocal choruses supplanting the basic band as the dominant texture." [5]
