Content

RCA Victor Record Review wrote of the album: "Organ, guitar and accordion, manipulated by The Three Suns in anything ranging from haunting ballad interpretations to bouncy novelties, concentrate on the latter for this new album. A gay and appealing potpourri includes such perky hits as 'Dancing Tambourine', 'Nola', 'The Doll Dance' and many a favorite."^[2]
