Reception
Billboard gave a positive review, called it "the commerical appeal of [Orbison]"[6]
Cashbox praised Orbison for "his feelingful readings of “It’s Over,” “Blue Bayou,” “Mean Woman Blues,” “In Dreams” and eight others."[7]
Record Mirror raved "He's every bit as strong on other people's work - like Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper" & Ray Charles "What'd I Say"[3]
