The catalog numbers were LP 125 in monaural and SP 4125 in stereo in the U.S. and AML 901 in the U.K. Other international releases included Argentina (Fermata LF-130, titled Los Sandpipers Volumen 2), Australia (A&M SAML-932), Canada (A&M LP 125), Germany (A&M 212 005), Italy (A&M AP 4125), South Africa (A&M LAM 2014, titled The French Song), Spain (A&M HD (S) 371-08), Taiwan (First FL-S-1555, red vinyl, and Bell SWL-1068, orange vinyl), and Venezuela (Fermata LP-7212).[2] The album was also released under license in Australia by World Record Club with a different cover titled Softly As I Leave You (R-03855).

The May 6, 1967 issue of Record World reviewed the album: Enticing, sultry group crooning of the Sandpipers is building a reputation. This package will enhance it. They select old and new, familiar and unfamiliar tunes like "Inchworm," "Yesterday" and their new single, "Glass."[3]
