AllMusic | [4] |
At the time of its release in November 1960, music reviewer Gee Mitchell wrote: "'$1,000,000 Worth of Twang' (Jamie) stirs up action aplenty on things like 'Rebel Rouser', 'Moovin' and Groovin',' and 'Because They're Young.' But, better turn the volume down a notch or two."[5]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of four-and-a-half stars, with reviewer Cub Koda calling it a "solid best-of collection".[4] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music also gave the album a rating of four stars.[6]
In January and February 2017, the ARChive of Contemporary Music featured "$1,000,000 Worth of Twang" in its window with web site commentary by head archivist Fred Patterson. Patterson described the album as "our own idea of what is worth a million dollars . . . a compilation of Duane Eddy's biggest hits up until 1960, hanging in our window to remind folks about the important things in life. Yes. Twang!"[7]
