The album contains the single "I Just Don't Understand", an American top 20 hit. The follow-up single, "What Am I Supposed to Do" peaked at No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 19 on the Easy Listening chart.[3]

Billboard Magazine rated the album as 4 stars, noting "the bright canary is in sprightly, sexy vocal form on this package...she scores highest with "Oh Lonesome Me", "His Ring", "Slowly" and "My Last Date". Solid teen appeal item." [4] In their review of the album, Cashbox noted that "for her second album for Victor, Ann-Margret gives an excellent demonstration of the original, warm, vibrant style that is quickly taking her to the upper reaches of stardom."[5]
