Glen Campbell’s Goodtime Album seems him moving in the direction of MOR style covers. His version of Its Only Make Believe was a top ten hit on both sides of the Atlantic. (US:27 UK:16)
“There is nothing too weighty here, and a good showcase of Campbell's diversity. Yes, there is a cover of MacArthur Park, possibly the cheesiest song ever written, but it's a good cover. And that's what you've got here, some great cover songs.”
“The hit from the album is a cover of It's Only Make Believe, originally released by Conway Twitty. Glen's cover also became an international hit. In addition this album contains the wonderful Funny Kind Of Monday, together with excellent covers of Bridge Over Troubled Water, MacArthur Park and My Way.”
“These were Glen's best vocals in his prime time. Anyone loving his music will agree with me. Listen and enjoy.”
“A spin-off of the TV show of the same name, this album is a nice representation of what Campbell was about at the time. In addition to the hit on the album (the cover of Conway Twitty's It's Only Make Believe), he dips into the Jimmy Webb songbook for two of the tracks.”
