Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell was the sole collaboration album between two of the biggest new names in country music who emerged during the late sixties. (US:11 UK:50)

"I grew up with this album playing in my house. I was not a country music fan but loved harmonies. This is a wonderful album. If you like folk music or country or just good harmonies you will love it."

"Beautiful music and great harmonies. It's a shame they didn't do more duet albums together as their voices complemented each other so well."

"I'm a fan of both, and to me this is not a bad record at all. Those who say that Gentry was not a 'country' artist is to undermine the richness and complexity of the genre."

"Glen sings with a high, clear, strong voice, Gentry low and husky. Glen has to power down to stop blowing her completely off each track, so from the start he's working at a disadvantage. When they sing in unison it sounds like he's singing right on top of her. Her voice is like a coaster to Glen's bottle of beer. Their voices mix well on sections of Sunday Mornin', where Gentry shifts into her upper register. For brief moments she's out from under Glen and their voices almost work together."

"It seems pretty clear from the quality of the recordings that nobody really wanted to make this record. The cover, showing Gentry and Campbell glued together from separate photos, sums the album up pretty well. Gentry wears her disgust on her sleeve a little more obviously than company man Campbell."

"An irritating record, largely due the part it played in pigeonholing Bobbie Gentry into the 'country' category. Anyone who has heard any of her vastly superior solo work will know that 'country' music plays the smallest role within her totally unique style. There is more folk, soul, blues in the make up of her songs than any Nashville styled jiggery-pokery."
