Dinner Music is a 1970 studio album by American psychedelic soul group Rotary Connection, released by Cadet Records.
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 2.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Andy Kellman writing that "the only accurate prediction one could have made before going into a Rotary Connection record was that it would be unpredictable" and continued that this is "the least-uniform Rotary Connection record", which "comes off like a series of tangents with little in the way of cohesion". [1] Kellman also reviewed a single-CD compilation of Aladdin and Dinner Music , also rating it three stars, noting that this is the only way to get this music on CD, but critiquing that these are the band's two weakest albums. [2] In a review for retailers, Billboard recommended this album for having "topnotch performances" and specifically praised Minnie Riperton's vocals. [3]
"Want You to Know" peaked at 96 on the Billboard Hot 100. [4]
