Reception
Bruce Eder of AllMusic said Del Shannon's "biggest hits are represented in a smooth '70s fashion, not as powerful as the originals but more mature than the original 1960s versions."[4]
Billboard said "it should bring a lot of younger fans up, but they sound as contemporary as anything coming around."[6]
Cashbox described the album as "A dynamic collection with the live touch-perfect."[7]
Toledo Blade commented that "His choruses are as good as ever, and his country-rock backup fits perfectly with the contemporary sound."[8]
Chris Martin of the Los Angeles Times wrote "Judging from the audience response on this record, there's plenty of room for Shannon in today's nostalgia market".[9]
