Walkin’ in Love Land has an aura of nostalgia because of the number of older pop songs, like the Everly Brothers’ “All I Have to Do Is Dream” and Glen Campbell’s “Turn Around, Look at Me” (which was on the charts again in 1968 thanks to the Vogues). The wistful “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” was deservedly a number one hit for Eddy Arnold, even if Johnny Tillotson’s 1963 recording was better. The Platters’ “I’ll Never Smile Again” is a surprising selection that is well-suited to Arnold’s style, and the title track sounds like a missed opportunity for a single. On the downside, the cloying “Apples, Raisins and Roses” and most of side two are bland pop ballads of the sort that dominate Arnold’s late-’60s LPs. About half of Walkin’ in Love Land ranges in quality from above-average to very good, which is enough to place the album among the best of Eddy Arnold’s late RCA albums.
