My Friends & Me is a studio album by American singer Dionne Warwick. It was released by Concord Records on November 7, 2006 in the United States. Produced by Warwick's son Damon Elliott, the album is a collection of duets with other artists on re-recordings of past songs by Warwick.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor John Bush praised Warwick's son and chief producer Damon Elliott's production for blending modern R&B elements with the classic Burt Bacharach-inspired sound, but felt that the guest artists often overshadowed Warwick, making the album feel more like a tribute than a true solo project. Mark Edward Nero of About.com praised the album for its nostalgic approach and consistent sound despite its many guest appearances. He noted that while the album offered no major reinvention of the classic songs, Warwick and her collaborators delivered strong performances, highlighting Kelis' rendition of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" as a standout while finding some collaborations less effective.
