Allmusic user Rob Theakston states that the album "dates back to the first golden age of his catalog from the mid-'60s and relies on the successful stomping Motown formula from the first song to the last." and that "Those looking to spice up their musical eggnog during the holiday season would be well served in giving this solid collection a few spins."[2]
