Allmusic.com gave Gene Vincent Rocks and the Blue Caps Roll a 4 star review:
By the time of the December 1957 sessions that made up this, his third album, Gene Vincent’s band had changed radically from its original lineup, with drummer Dickie Harrell the only original member (and even he wasn’t long for the lineup). …The music was beautifully played and exciting, but a little bit tamer overall; the occasional wild shouts that punctuated the old band’s playing were absent, and Vincent was indulging increasingly in softer pop and ballad material, which worked but also served to tone down the impact of the album. The music was still lively, but much more a creation of the studio than an offshoot of intense, raucous stage performances.
