Critical reception

Billboard (December 18, 1965): "This blues-rocker with wailing vocal performances loaded with electricity will prove a sales monster. Discotheque winner!"[4]

Cash Box (December 18, 1965): "Wailing moanin’ powerfully orked soulfilled shouter. Easy to dance to sound and good romance lyric should have lots of appeal for the teen market generally and the r&b set in particular."[5]
