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.' But had the album never appeared, it wouldn't have added to or subtracted a whit from the total sum of his legacy. Three of the numbers were featured in Nelson's forgotten Love and Kisses film, including the embarrassing single 'Come Out Dancin'.'[1]
