“Checker's best known song is, of course, The Twist. He also had million-sellers with Let's Twist Again and Limbo Rock. Additional dance craze top ten hits included Pony Time, The Fly and a duet with label mate Dee Dee Sharp on Slow Twistin’.” “All the dance tunes he made famous from the sixties. You cannot go wrong with this.”

"Dancin' Party has one heck of a beat and I love every minute of it - what great music, it's electric! Chubby sings with lots of enthusiasm; and his excellent diction enhances his performance all the more. Of course, The Twist was probably Chubby's biggest hit ever; and he belts this out with lots of youthful enthusiasm.”

"Let's Twist Again is a strong sequel song, the music has a beat that couldn't be better and the melody is infectiously happy and catchy too. Chubby specialized in making these dance tunes so very memorable, and he succeeded every step of the way.”

“Chubby Checker will never be forgotten; he was a king amongst kings and one of the best artists to consistently turn out song after song that young people could dance to. I love the work of Chubby Checker and I highly recommend this album.”

“Much of what's here is fine, catchy pop aimed directly at the teenagers of the 1960s. That means it's technically 'dated', but the joyous nature of these songs transcends it's time, while remaining a time machine for the nostalgic.”
