Reception

In his AllMusic review, critic JT Griffith called it "One of the most underappreciated Bobby Darin albums and one of the most exciting to revisit." Variety notes "Darin demonstrates his driving style on "If I Had a Hammer", his country flavor on "Don't Think Twice" and a sensitive feeling on "Blowin' In The Wind"
Billboard commented "Bobby Darin lends his gusto and bravado to a powerful line-up of contemporary folk hits." Cash Box notes the "Superb performances by Darin here should send the set to top ten territory".
