Bimbo (Jim Reeves album)

Bimbo is an album recorded by Jim Reeves and released on the RCA Victor label (catalog no. LPM-1410). Released in 1957, it was his first album after signing with RCA Victor. Reeves described it as a collection of the records that "made him", including his early No. 1 hits "Bimbo" and "Mexican Joe."

In Billboard magazine's annual poll of country and western disc jockeys, Bimbo was ranked No. 4 among the "Favorite C&W Albums" of 1957.

Anticipating Reeves' broad crossover appeal to pop listeners, critic Gwen Harrison of The Miami Herald wrote that the album appealed to country fans and had also won over listeners who were "not fond of the nasal-twang type of singing" that had been characteristic of the genre.

Syndicated country music critic Les Carroll called the album "a fine addition to a record library."
