Reception

Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that "It's impossible to get too far past that thought, or the memory of Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" and "Raining in My Heart" in listening to this polished piece of teen idol pop/rock from Vee. He even does "Teardrops Fall Like Rain," a song written by and originally recorded by the post-Holly Crickets"[5]

Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Album" review, stating that it featured "the young artist, is in fresh, appealing vocal form on this collection of teen-appeal tunes, featuring many of his own and other' singles hit. Best sides are "You Better Move On", "Pleases Don't Ask About Barbara", "In My Baby's Eyes" and "My Golden Chance".[6]
