Overview

The album was recorded right after her hit country song "Little Green Apples", which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart, [2] and at No. 96 on the Hot 100. [3] The other single included in the album was Gentle On My Mind (No. 7 on the Easy Listening chart and No. 66 on the Hot 100). The album includes many other well-known country hits, such as the Jim Reeves hit song, "Four Walls" and a country hit of 1967, "Green Green Grass of Home".

The album peaked at No. 168 on the Billboard Top LPs chart during a six-week run on the chart. [4]

Reception

An unspecified reviewer on Record World said that "The songs here, mostly in the city - country frame, will fall gently on the ear", and noted; "But doesn't everything that Patti sings? 'Gentle on My Mind,' 'Green Green Grass of Home,' 'Skip a Rope,' 'Little Green Apples,' etc." [5]

Reissue

The album was reissued, combined with the 1965 Patti Page album Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, on compact disc by Collectables Records on August 24, 1999.
