Come Dance with Me! was Sinatra's most successful album, spending two and a half years on the Billboard charts. Stereo Review wrote in 1959 that "Sinatra swaggers his way with effortless verve through an appealing collection of bouncy standards, aptly described in the album notes as 'vocals that dance'".
Come Dance With Me stayed on Billboard's Pop album chart for 141 weeks, peaking at #2 for four weeks. The album remained in the top ten for 58 weeks, spending 29 weeks in the top ten in 1959 and another 29 weeks in the top ten in 1960.
