Cash Box (August 3, 1963):
Ike & Tina Turner tag this new LP romp on Sue after a while-back hit called, "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," and include eleven other r&b biggies of recent vintage. Most of the tunes here are up-tempo and the duo belts them out with unabashed good spirits. Jumping off with "Gonna Find Me A Substitute, "the pair also includes "Poor Fool" and "I'm Gonna Cut You Loose." The package looms as a moneymaker in the r&b markets.[4]Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "This period of their discography is marked by burning early R&B fused with the same fireball energy of the also quickly developing rock & roll culture. Things slow down only slightly with the soulful title track and the swanky 'Why Should I,' but the energy is on ten for most of the set."
All songs written by Ike Turner, except where noted.
