The New York Times gave an overall favorable review of Yank!, citing its blend of humor with drama and the quality of the songwriting.

YANK! begins with a young man in present-day San Francisco who finds an old diary in a junk shop...

But unlike most guys, Stu also falls in love with a fellow Private, a handsome All-American guy named Mitch...
