Critical reception
The record was chosen as Cash Box's (August 7, 1965) Pick of the Week:
The Iketters are a cinch to create a tremendous sales-stir with this in both the pop and r&b markets. The top lid here, "I'm So Thankful" a slow-shufflin' romantic ode about a love-sick gal who is on cloud nine since she met the fella of her dreams. Undercut, "Don’t Feel Sorry Me," is a hard-driving blues twister about a jilted lass who claims happy that her romance went kaput.{{Cite journal|date=August 7, 1965|title=Record Reviews: Pick of the Week|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/60s/1965/CB-1965-08-07.pdf|journal=Cash Box|pages=16}}
