Reception
The initial Cashbox magazine review stated that "The talented orkster has transformed the hits, via his own professional mixture of winds and horns, into a gratifying, adult experience," noting that "The band is superb in form".[2] Later AllMusic gave the album a rating of three-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Eugene Chadbourne wrote: "Generously buoyed by tunes from the best known pop hitmaking teams of the late '50s and early '60s, this selection grooves along with a rhythmic bounce all its own."[1]
