AllMusic

Bachelors' Paradise is the fourth album by Swedish-American actress and singer Ann-Margret, released by RCA Victor in 1963. The album title is a pun based around the title song of the 1961 film, Bachelor in Paradise. Just two years prior, Ann-Margret performed the song at the 34th Academy Awards, the reception from which greatly boosted her career.

In their review of the album, Cashbox noted the singer "directs a kittenish, sexy voice at the bachelors at large as she purrs her way through a bag of standards and recent biggies...could be a brisk seller."

Ann-Margret re-recorded the track "I Wanna Be Loved" for the 1966 film, The Swinger and the accompanying album, Songs from The Swinger (And Other Swingin' Songs).
