Billboard published a review in the issue dated October 28, 1967, which said, "Three extremely well-performed tunes are on this album—but one is so far above the rest that it glows. It's solid, traditional in aspect, soulful in delivery—"I'll Sure Come a Long Way Down". Her other two outstanding songs are pop in nature, "Dark Moon" and "Secret Love", though "Dark Moon" is a country-originated effort."{{cite web |title=Billboard Magazine - October 28, 1967 |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/60s/1967/Billboard%201967-10-28.pdf |website=American Radio History |publisher=Billboard Magazine |accessdate=7 July 2018}}

The review published in the October 21, 1967 issue of Cashbox said, "Hordes and hordes of country fans have massed to secure for Loretta Lynn the position of No. 1 female vocalist, a role which she has enjoyed for several years now, and which she shows little signs of relinquishing. One of the reasons for her immense popularity has been the sincerity and feeling which flavor her vocal efforts, and this LP contains a generous sampling of that feeling,with standout tracks in "Dark Moon", "A Place to Hide And Cry", and her recent smash single, "If You’re Not Gone Too Long"."{{cite web |title=Cashbox - October 21, 1967 |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Cash-Box/60s/1967/CB-1967-10-21.pdf |website=American Radio History |publisher=Cashbox |accessdate=15 April 2019}}
