The Dance Album of Carl Perkins is as good as rock & roll gets, containing most of Perkins’ anthems: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Movie Magg,” “Gone, Gone, Gone,” “Honey Don’t,” “Everybody’s Trying to Be My Baby,” “Matchbox,” “Boppin’ the Blues,” and “All Mama’s Children.” "...the disc is a virtual greatest-hits album, containing most of Perkins' anthems...Combined, these tracks provided some of the toughest, rawest rockabilly, powered by Perkins' dynamic, gutsy guitar and earnest voice. Much of the rest of the record cruises by at the same speed -- the two-step tribute 'Tennessee,' the bopping 'Your True Love,' the speedy rockabilly blues cover 'Right String, Wrong Yo Yo' -- slowing down for the pure country of 'Sure to Fall' and a version of the Platters' 'Only You' that turns it down-home." - allmusic.com
