Critical reception.
The album received positive reviews.
"Cash Box" (August 3, 1963):Ike &amp; Tina Turner tag this new LP romp on Sue after a while-back hit called, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," and include eleven other r&amp;b biggies of recent vintage. Most of the tunes here are up-tempo and the duo belts them out with unabashed good spirits. Jumping off with "Gonna Find Me A Substitute, "the pair also includes "Poor Fool" and "I'm Gonna Cut You Loose." The package looms as a moneymaker in the r&amp;b markets.
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "This period of their discography is marked by burning early R&amp;B fused with the same fireball energy of the also quickly developing rock &amp; roll culture. Things slow down only slightly with the soulful title track and the swanky 'Why Should I,' but the energy is on ten for most of the set."
