AllMusic | [1] |
Eugene Chadbourne of AllMusic rated Sammy Davis Jr. Now one-and-a-half out of five stars. He stated that "there are tracks enough on this album that are painful to sit through", but also said that "The Candy Man" "surely will retain its historical value simply for being about the closest music has ever come to being pure excrement." He concluded his review by stating that "it is big enough for the artist himself to hide behind". [1]
