Writing for AllMusic, Bruce Eder called it a "musical travelogue of the United States that didn't seem too inspired as a concept even in 1963", noting that "there is something to recommend almost all of it". [5] Cashbox wrote in their review that "The musical bill-of-fare here includes a melodic amalgam of evergreens and newies", noting that "The arrangements are first-rate and the boys handle them with ease." [6] The writers of Billboard gave it a positive review. [7]
