Hallway Symphony is the second studio album by the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, released in 1972. It was their final album for the Dunhill label. A single released from the album, "One Good Woman," failed to break the Top 40. That same year, Tommy Reynolds quit the group; different session musicians took his place in their touring and recording before Alan Dennison replaced him permanently a year later (but the band kept their original name of "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds"). In 1973, the band was dropped from Dunhill due to lack of chart success, but they continued touring and performing live in Las Vegas and various colleges, thanks to the continuing radio play of their huge hit "Don't Pull Your Love."

Cover versions include "Bridge over Troubled Water", "You've Got a Friend", and "C'est la Vie" (originally recorded by Gayle McCormick).
