The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated May 8, 1965, peaking at No. 29 during a twenty-two-week run on the chart.[4] It debuted on Cashbox magazine's Top 100 Albums chart in the issue also dated May 8, 1965, peaking at No. 31 during a seventeen-week run on the chart.[5]
Reception
