"I'll Make You Mine" made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 22, 1964, eventually spending one week at number 52 during its 8-week stay,[3] and number 54 on the Cashbox singles chart.[4] The single was Vee's last best showing until "Look at Me Girl" in 1966, which would also reach number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Reception[edit]
Billboard mentioned that "[Vee is] singing the Beatles Sound through some of this set."[5]
Cashbox gave a positive review, saying that "Vee gets on the bandwagon to cash in on the click sound as he surveys a bag of rock tunes in the British manner", and calling it "a natural for top sales action".[6]
The Progress-Index wrote that "it was assumed [British invasion artists were] the only ones who knew what this sound was about. In this album Bobby Vee proves otherwise."[7]
The Evening Independent wrote that "Vee may turn back the British invasion with his potent performances".[8]
