Bobby Vee Meets the Ventures is a 1963 cross-over rock and roll album that brings Bobby Vee, a singer, together with the Ventures, an instrumental quartet.

[10] Bruce Eder of AllMusic called it Bobby Vee's "hardest-rocking album ever", and stated that the album is "one great showcase for Vee's vocalizing and the playing of Nokie Edwards et al".

[11] Billboard called it "one of the hottest in the teen album dance field".

[12] The album was referred to as a "Rocking Cha Cha Beat" by Disc,[13] and Cashbox said "the distinctive vocal delivery blends smoothly with the instrumental stylings of the Ventures".

[14] The Liverpool Echo wrote that "[Vee] seems to have lost a little of his early vocal potency and the Ventures tend to bang and bash too heavily for comfort".
