July 6, 1959, Billboard Spotlight Winners of the Week: “Cash turns in two powerful tunes of his own cleffing. ‘Stripes’ is a ballad of a jailbird, set to a fine New Orleans rhythm beat, while the flip is the story of a flood and the troubles it breeds. Either of these grass-roots sides can go.”

July 18, 1959 The Cash Box Pick of the Week: “Look for Johnny Cash to make another big pop-country splash with his new Columbia twosome. The deep-voiced chanter relates the problems of a convict on the rhythmic, quick beat ‘I Got Stripes’ and of a flood on the slightly up tempo ‘Five Feet High and Rising.’ (From his ‘Songs of the Soil’ LP.) Terrific vocal and musical support for Cash’s affectionately light-hearted approach to the problems. Tag both for dual-mart ‘hitsville.’”
