Cash Box described "Crawling Back" as a "tender, slow-moving, laconic ode about a love-sick fella who’ll go to any lengths to get his ex-gal back again."[3] Cash Box described "Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart" as a "medium-paced, full orked and chorus backed soulful tearjerker about a lonely guy who’s been singing the blues since his gal jilted him."[4]
