No shortage of Twist songs here as Chubby Checker milks the craze for all it is worth. For Teen Twisters Only includes two US top ten hit singles Slow Twistin’ and The Fly. (US:17)
“The dance theme permeates For Teen Twisters Only, with any track a candidate for inclusion in a youth oriented film from the period. The Fly is an interesting song with unique sound effects to separate it from the rest, followed by Slow Twistin', a duet with the great Dee Dee Sharp."
“The stronger material is on side one and by the time you hit the final track, the second of Checker's two compositions Twistin' Bones, the novelty has worn off. But this wasn't about creating great albums; it was about riding the wave of top 40 success and Chubby Checker milks it for all it's worth.”
“The album delivers the goods without straying from the mission to twist again...and again...and again.”
“Chubby Checker is amazing and a legend. The Twist is the best kind of dance ever. Slow Twistin’ is my favourite of all the Twist songs he released.”
