Inside Out is a 1967 album by Bobby Darin. This album found Darin continuing to explore the folk genre, as he had on his previous release, If I Were a Carpenter. Like its predecessor, Inside Out contains songs by Tim Hardin and John Sebastian, as well as Randy Newman and The Rolling Stones.^[1]

Inside Out was reissued in 1998 on the Diablo label combined with Darin's previous release, If I Were a Carpenter.^[2]

Reception

Music critic Richie Unterberger wrote in his Allmusic review "It's not bad, but there are better versions than these songs; the arrangements are a little too syrupy, the singing is okay but not brilliant, some of the songs are too lightweight, and the overall mood is too damned unrelentingly understated."
