Feelin' Good opened to mixed reviews. In the Boston Record American of Friday, October 28, 1966, Peggy Doyle headed her review, “Hub-Bred Feelin' Good Bright Teen Musical,” but another critic wrote “Luckily, a lot of music intervenes between dreary dialogue (is it camp-spoofy or just bad?) and silly situation.” But then he added, “Travis Pike wrote eight of the film's songs — most of them imitative of current pop trends but unoffensively, even pleasantly tuneful — and sings them in a strong melodic voice.” Now 71-years-old, Travis says, "It could have been worse. By today's standards (or lack thereof), "unoffensive" (sic), might even be considered high praise!" |
