Reception

Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that "It showed him belatedly abandoning his early-'60s teen pop sound and suddenly working within what sounded like a group context, with guitar-bass-drums accompaniment and doing songs that not only had a beat but also a modern edge, including "Sunny," "Summer in the City," "Look at Me Girl," with just a couple of songs that recalled his earlier work.[6]

Billboard described it as "The rhythm holds, but his old familiar style becomes more distinctive throughout each of the other selections."[7]

Record Mirror stated that "Apart from his ever pleasant in offensice voice, there not much else to recommend this LP."[8]

Cashbox described the album as "He goes off into such different sounds as "Lil' Red Riding Hood," "Sweet Pea", and "Sunny" for a host of easily recognizable sounds rendered with smooth individuality."[9]
