Love and Kisses is the thirteenth studio album by American rock and roll and pop singer Rick Nelson, and his sixth for Decca Records, released on November 15, 1965. Nelson sang three songs in his last film of the same name: "Love and Kisses", "Say You Love Me", and "Come Out Dancin'". Jimmie Haskell arranged the album and Charles "Bud" Dant produced it.
Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that "even by the modest standards of Nelson's early Decca albums, Love and Kisses is a tepid, stagnant collection. Some of the cuts sound vaguely updated with harder-edged guitars than unusual, and there's a hint of his future country direction with the cover of Roger Miller's 'I Catch Myself Crying" Three of the numbers were featured in Nelson's forgotten Love and Kisses film, including the embarrassing single 'Come Out Dancin'.'[1]
Billboard selected the album for a "Spotlight Pick" review, and stated "He Offers an exceptional package aimed right at the teen buying market. Aside from the rock numbers, he displays a warm and tender feel for ballads such "Try To Remember", Roger Miller's "I Catch Myself Crying". "More" is a pulsating rocker.[2]
