It was released on August 26, 1968, by Capitol Records. In 2006, Australian label Raven Records released the album on CD for the first time, paired with 1968’s The Delta Sweete. In 2007, the album was made available for digital download. {{Album reviews|rev1 = Allmusic |rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[3] }} Critical receptionBillboard’s review of the album, published in the issue dated September 7, 1968, said, "Bobbie (Billie Joe) Gentry deserts the Delta for Beatle land, including a stunning "Eleanor Rigby" as well as her own dusty Delta dramas. Mississippi melodies includes the self-penned "Sweete Peony" and "Ace Insurance Man", both sensitively set against the Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere” and Kenny Rankin’s "Peaceful" – all with lush arrangements tuned in on the charts."[4]Cashbox published a review on September 7 also, which said, "Bobbie Gentry bids fair to reestablish herself on the best-seller charts with this sensitive album of song and story. The artist has written four of the eleven tunes on the set, including "Sweete Peony", "Casket Vignette", "Ace Insurance Man" and "Recollection". Miss Gentry's singing is particularly beautiful here, creating moods of haunting fragility."[5]A review from Record World said, "With a voice as soft as fur, Bobbie sings about the people who people her life. About half of the material is her own rich work. Other songs are "Come Away, Melinda", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Here, There and Everywhere"."[6] Jason Ankeny of All Music gave a positive review of the album, concluding that the album "is an exquisitely wrought collection of character studies steeped in the myth and lore of Southern culture -- from the funeral parlor director portrayed in "Casket Vignette" to the titular "Ace Insurance Man," Bobbie Gentry etches a series of revealing, well-observed narratives populated by folks both larger-than-life and small-time, adding up to something not unlike a country-pop Spoon River Anthology."[7] Commercial performanceThe album did not appear on any major music charts. The album's two singles, "Sweete Peony" and "The Fool on the Hill" also failed to chart.
