They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy
They Don't Make 'em Like My Daddy is the twenty-fourth solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on September 2, 1974, by MCA Records. Critical reception

In the September 14 issue, Billboard published a review that said, "When Loretta sings, people listen, and they'll listen to all of these, even though several of the songs have been done before. She has two of her big singles on it and a great deal of new material, out of which will come more singles. The remarkable lady just keeps doing superb songs, and Owen Bradley plays his part." The review also noted "Out of Consideration," "Don't Leave Me Where You Found Me," and "Nothin'" as the best cuts on the album, and a note to record dealers saying that there is "some nostalgia on the back cover, along with great liner notes." Cashbox also published a review in their September 14 issue which said, "Loretta's bright sparkling vocals have made her one of the most successful females on the country music scene. A sense of boundless happiness is inherent in all her songs, even if they are of the ballad lament type. The lady sings with a refined sense of interpretation that ranks her among the very best of the female country performers. The title track was recently a chart topper. Fine renditions of such country classics as "Behind Closed Doors (Charlie Rich song) ", "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "We've Already Tasted Love", "I've Never Been This Far Before", and "I Love". Loretta Lynn is certainly one of the omnipresent reigning queens of country music." Commercial performance
