Victim of Romance is singer and songwriter Michelle Phillips's first and only solo album, and was released in February 1977 (see 1977 in music). Despite good reviews, the record was unsuccessful and Phillips (previously with The Mamas & the Papas) then favored her acting career. The front cover photography was by Terry O'Neill.

Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "an unexpected triumph," writing that Moon Martin's contributions were "excellent." No Depression wrote that Phillips's "reported lack of confidence in her solo voice proved unfounded as she showed off a command of a spotlight that was previously diffused by her talented groupmates." Billboard called Victim of Romance a "thoroughly delightful collection of Spectoresque rockers and ballads, dreamy blues, and melodic upbeat pop flavored tunes."
