Girl Talk is the fourth studio album by American singer Lesley Gore. The album, released in 1964, spawned several hit singles, including "Maybe I Know," "Hey Now," and "Look of Love". The album reached number 146 on the Billboard 200.[1]

Commercial performance

The album was less successful than its predecessors, stalling at number 146 on the US album chart. It did include two Top 40 hits, however: "Maybe I Know" and "Look of Love." "Maybe I Know" was also a Top 20 hit in the UK.[2]

Critical reception

Retrospectively, AllMusic awarded the album three-and-a-half stars, and though commenting that the singles are the highlights, concluded that the album is "certainly one of her better" albums.[3]
