Review

A 24-song collection slanted toward the lighter rock hits of the pioneering early '60s. Every track conjures fond memories, even songs by artists like Del Shannon, Curtis Lee, Kathy Young & the Innocents, and Rosie & the Originals, which have lost some of their original appeal. However, the Dreamlovers' original "When We Get Married," Dion's finger-poppin' "Runaround Sue," the Jive Five's "My True Story," and Paul & Paula's "Hey Paula" are as charming as ever. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
