Reception
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic noted that "Williams continued to prove himself an effective and versatile singer capable of bringing off such lightly rocking or exotic revivals." Variety notes Williams is "a slick song-seller and know how to get the most out of such as 'So Rare' , 'Love Letters in the Sand' , 'It's All in The Game', and 'Near You',' Music Vendor thought the "Album will appeal to an adult market as well as teenagers", and notes "although the beat and feel has been up-dated, Andy's superb styling will get through to many older folk." Ken Graham of Disc notes The "Accompaniments is finely supplied by the Archie Bleyer orchestra which has been associated with all of Andy's hits in the past." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, Disc, and AllMusic each gave the album a three-star ratings. ==Track listing==
