Allmusic.com gave Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps a 5 star review:
Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps, cut in October 1956, only four months after its predecessor, came about under slightly less favorable circumstances than the Bluejean Bop album. Cliff Gallup, whose lead guitar had been so central to the group’s original sound, and rhythm guitarist Willie Williams, who was only somewhat less important to their sound, had been gone from the band for nearly two months when producer Ken Nelson decided it was time to cut material for more singles and a second album. Gallup was persuaded to rejoin temporarily for the sessions that yielded this album, and with him he brought not only a hot-sounding instrument but one first-rate original song, “You Better Believe,” alongside a few other notable band originals (“Cruisin’,” “Hold Me, Hug Me, Rock Me”) that are among the best songs Vincent and his band ever recorded.
