For Your Sweet Love is the eighth studio album by rock and roll and pop idol Rick Nelson and his first for Decca Records. The album was released on May 27, 1963, and features the singles "I Got a Woman", "You Don't Love Me Anymore (And I Can Tell)", "String Along", and "Gypsy Woman".
The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the issue dated June 8, 1963, and remained on the chart for 20 weeks, peaking at number 20.[1]
Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that "although there would always be some bright spots worth a listen (usually in the form of James Burton solos). The material often recalls, but does not match, his earlier '60s ballads such as "Travelin' Man." "Gypsy Woman" is an uncommonly tough number for the period, and "I Will Follow You" is a decent cover of the Little Peggy March hit "I Will Follow Him."
Billboard called it "a Listenable Album", and priased that it features "a flock of other goodies."[2]
Cashbox described the album as a "professional, wide-range voice and distinctive style carries him in good stead."[3]
Record Mirror described the album as "a fine album in Rick Nelson in typical style"[4]
The Evening Independent called the album "a well-balanced program."[5]
