Drop Down and Get Me is the 11th studio album by American rock and roll singer-songwriter Del Shannon.

Critical reception

Cub Koda of AllMusic said Del Shannon "sounds great as well, writing nine of the 12 tracks assembled and turning in bang-up readings of Don Everly's "Maybe Tomorrow," the Rolling Stones' "Out of Time" and Phil Phillips' classic "Sea of Love"."

Billboard said the album maintains "a very mainstream, highly accessible commercial edge".[3]
