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."[4]
Record Mirror described it as "good pop material in typical Rick Nelson style"[5]
