The album contains twelve songs, six of which were issued as singles after the release of Berry's debut album (After School Session). Of the other six tracks, which hadn't been issued as singles, La Jaunda is worth mentioning as it gives evidence of Berry's appreciation for Latin music.

Description
"One Dozen Berrys" by Chuck Berry, originally released in 1958. Except for five songs, all tracks had been previously released on 45 rpm singles. It includes the hit singles, "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Rock & Roll Music." The slow instrumental "Blue Feeling" is a look at the blues sound that Berry had that time, "How You've Changed" presents him in a slow ballad, singing in a manner closer to Nat "King" Cole than to any rock & roller of the era; and "La Jaunda" shows off his love of Latin music. "Rocking at the Philharmonic" is a rippling guitar/piano workout, a compendium of the sounds that lay beneath those hit singles, and a killer showcase not only for Berry, but also for Lafayette Leake at the ivories, and a decent showcase for Willie Dixon's bass playing. "Oh Baby Doll" is a return to the beat of "Maybellene," this time carrying a lyric that's more sensual (in a bluesy sense) than rollicking fun, though it comes out that way amid the pounding beat and Berry's crunchy, angular guitar solo. On this LP two bonus tracks "The Downbound Train" and "You Can't Catch Me."
