Critical reception
The album received positive reviews.[6]
Cash Box (August 3, 1963):
Ike & Tina Turner tag this new LP romp on Sue after a while-back hit called, 'It's Gonna Work Out Fine', and include eleven other r&b biggies of recent vintage. Most of the tunes here are up-tempo and the duo belts them out with unabashed good spirits. Jumping off with 'Gonna Find Me a Substitute', "the pair also includes 'Poor Fool' and 'I'm Gonna Cut You Loose'. The package looms as a moneymaker in the r&b markets.[2]
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "This period of their discography is marked by burning early R&B fused with the same fireball energy of the also quickly developing rock & roll culture. Things slow down only slightly with the soulful title track and the swanky 'Why Should I', but the energy is on ten for most of the set."[1]
