Reception
Jerry Lee Lewis was acclaimed critically but was not a commercial success, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard country albums chart and limping to number 186 on the Top 200. The New York Times wrote that "what justifies the disk is Mr. Lewis's singing, which recalls the rave-up frenzies of his youth and blends the still-exciting edge with a confident maturity and stylishness of phrasing."
