"Leave a Tender Moment Alone" was the only single from the album released there not to reach the top 20 of the chart, and, along with the title track, was the second single not to have a video made for it.
Reception
Cash Box called the song "a tender country-tinged cut that is highlighted by the veteran songster’s effortless vocalizing."[4]
