The single, "The Very Thought of You", was Nelson's last US top-forty single for five years, peaking at No. 26.[1] On the BillboardEasy Listening chart, the song reached No. 11,[2] while it peaked at No. 65 in Australia.
Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that "Passable, mostly midtempo pop/rock that did little to either embarrass the singer or raise the listener's temperature. There are obscure songs by Mann-Weil ("I Don't Wanna Love You") and Charlie Rich ("Just a Little Bit Sweet"), but it all sounds like pleasant throwaway filler, the best cut being his cover of the great lost Drifters-like tune "I Wonder" (a small hit for the Pentagons in 1961).[4]
Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Album" review, and stated "He represents one of the most successful recording artist of this decade. he has a legion of loyal fams who support all of his recording efforts. This package features Him and a raft of easygoin' ballads with plenty of teen-sence romantic appeal. A few examples are: "Love Is the Sweetest Thing", "My Old Flame", and "Be My Love". The beat is gentle and His delivery is in relaxed dual track."[5]
