Critical reception
The album received a positive critical reception upon its release. Cashbox magazine stated that "Perennial crooning favorite Bing Crosby steps into a contemporary bag here, and the results are delightful." The British publication Gramophone commented: "Bing Crosby has lost none of his mellow warmth of voice in Hey Jude, Hey Bing! as he gives us his versions of the Beatle ballad, 'Little Green Apples,' 'Both Sides Now,' and 'Those Were The Days,' thereby adding to the potency of the songs themselves."
