It was released on April 26, 1971, by Capitol Records. In 2007, Australian label Raven Records released the album on CD for the first time, paired with 1970’s Fancy. The album was also made available for digital download the same year. The cover art for the album is an uncredited painting of Gentry. According to the liner notes for the 2004 compilation Chickasaw County Child: The Artistry of Bobbie Gentry, the painting is believed to have been done by Gentry herself.[3] {{Album reviews|rev1 = Allmusic |rev1score = {{Rating|3.5|5}} [{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r468985|pure_url=yes}} link] |rev2 = Rolling Stone |rev2score = [https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bobbiegentry/albums/album/16114782/patchwork link] }} Critical receptionIn the issue dated May 8, 1971, Billboard published a review which said, "Miss Gentry's latest LP is simply charming. There is a strong hint of autobiography and disarming re-creations of recent times gone by. Besides her current single, "But I Can't Get Back", radio play should be heaviest on "Marigolds and Tangerines", "Miss Clara / Azusa Sue", "Beverly", and "Lookin' In". All the songs are originals."[4] Cashbox published a review of the album in the May 1 issue, saying, "Those who have been taking Bobbie Gentry lightly must now stop and reconsider. Patchwork, her latest album, is a masterpiece. It is a finely woven collection of tunes written and produced by Bobbie. It is a perfect album in every respect. A concept album. The selections are beautifully performed and include interludes which were also written by Bobbie. LP stands a good chance of winning album of the year awards."[5]The review published in Record World said, "Another newsletter from bayou country, Bobbie Gentry, who might be closer to Faulkner than she is to Irving Berlin, sings about the people she's known and loved. Her album is like leafing through a good book or someone's family album. Warm and quilty like a patchwork."[6] Commercial performanceThe album peaked at No. 221 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under the Top LP's chart. The albums's first single, "But I Can't Get Back", was released in March 1970. It peaked at No. 37 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart and No. 93 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. In May 1970, "Somebody Like Me" was released as a single in the UK and did not chart.
