Cash Box (March 20, 1965):
The earthy, driving sound of Ike and Tina Turner should draw their r&b fans in droves to this package of the duo's biggest hit numbers. The veteran team delivers a song with the same dynamic drive that has built up an enormous following over the years, including the rockin' "Tra La La" and "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" and the soulful "You Should've Treated Me Right." This package should get a great deal of acceptance from the r&b audience.[3]
Reissues
Ten tracks were reissued as Ike & Tina's Greatest Hits on Unart Records in 1967 and Sunset Records in 1970.[4][5] The missing tracks are "I'm Jealous" and "Don't Play Me Cheap."
