Jason Ankeny of AllMusic said that "affords a wonderful opportunity to experience hits like "Waitin' in School" and "Stood Up" that have been marginalized (if not altogether disregarded) by myopic oldies radio play lists—particularly revelatory is 1958's "Believe What You Say," a chugging rocker in the mold of vintage Buddy Holly."^[3]
