The title track, "I'm Gonna Be a Swinger", was a minor hit, peaking at No. 54 Hot Country Songs chart.

AllMusic gave the album two-and-a-half stars. Critic Greg Adams called it "a fascinating album", but a throwback that was not likely to win many new fans.[2]

Critic Al Freeders wrote that the album "gets things going for Webb as he starts to become very active in the business once again."[3]
