Runaway with Del Shannon is the 1961 debut album by American rock and roll singer-songwriter Del Shannon. It contains Shannon's best-known hit, "Runaway". It is regarded by critics as having helped bridge the period between early rock and the British Invasion.[citation needed]
Bruce Eder of Allmusic stated that "Some of the rest is a good deal less appealing, especially when Shannon tries straight romantic crooning, as on "The Search" or "I'll Always Love You." "I Wake up Crying" and especially "Wide Wide World" are successful album tracks, and the latter, at a somewhat quicker tempo."[2]
