By the time of the release of this album, Elvis Presley was well into his barren mid sixties period, when he was contracted to star in many sub standard movies. During this time his immense vocal talents were wasted on the kind of third rate material found on Kissin' Cousins. The title track was a No. 12 hit in the US and No. 10 in the UK. (US:6 UK:5)

"Not deep social music, but it sure is fun to listen to and his voice is perfect, the smoothest vocals in the world. There is nothing bad to say about the music of Elvis. He is often imitated but never equalled." "While this collection is better than some of his other 1960s movie soundtracks, it is still not particularly strong. This is recommended only for avid Elvis fans."

"I must admit that the songs performed during Elvis's film making period are not the best in his career, but there are lots of fun songs to listen to."

"Kissin' Cousins is one of his most underrated songs. This is such a very fun, tremendous and underrated song."
