The ''[[Negro Digest]]'' positively reviewed the album in their September 1963 issue, highlighting the satire on Italian film directors as the "richest ore of humour in this platter". Referencing the character's imaginary film, ''Rape'', the ''Negro Digest'' wrote that "Everything is rape with Mr. Fetuchini. He loves it. And so will the listener".<ref name="Company1963">{{cite book|author=Johnson Publishing Company|title=Black World/Negro Digest|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cDoDAAAAMBAJ|date=September 1963|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company}}</ref>
