Cashbox said that "Having triumphed with the 1st such package,
Connie Francis follows up with another lineup of Italian-American songs. Here she’s heard in 'Guaglione,' 'Just Say I Love Him,' 'That’s Amore,' 'Torero” and 'Funiculi Funicula.' And called it a "Sure chart item."
Billboard similarly stated that "Connie Francis' first Italian LP was smash and this should be a similar click. The thrush is in fine, expressive vocal form-singing in both English and Italian - on 'Funiculi, Funicula,' 'Torero,' 'That's Amore,' "Senza Mamma,' etc.'
Record World (then known as
Music Vendor) said that Francis "...returns with an encore of songs devoted to new and familiar Italian songs. Repertoire includes 'Just Say I Love Him,' 'Torero,' 'That's Amore', and 'Senza Mamma', to which she wrote English words." The magazine believed that it "Should be well received by both adult and teen fandom." == Chart performance ==
