Reception to the album was poor, much like any Beach Boys album released after Music/TheBeachBoysLoveYou up to this point. Some critics would recall it as "an embarrassement to anybody involved" and hardly any member of the band would talk about it since. ''Stars And Stripes Volume 1'' also has the reputation of being completly ignored as a Beach Boys album due to the fact that the band has a minor involvement on it and no new orginal song is featured on it. The failure of ''Summer In Paradise'' also led people to believe that it killed any atttempt for the band to record an album and that their next LP would be 2012's ''Music/ThatsWhyGodMadeTheRadio''.

Due to its critical and commercial fiasco, ''Stars And Stripes Vol. 1'' didn't get a sequel, and also cancelled any oppportunity for the band to record an album in the 90s, including the [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes now coveted]] ''Music/ThePaleySessions''. A documentary about the album's making called ''Nashville Sounds'' was made and can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aReNif20hcg here]].

This is another album in the band's discography which easily stands out from the rest. ''Stars and Stripes Vol. 1'' is a collaborative effort between The Beach Boys and various country artists, ranging from icons such as Willie Nelson to then newcomers like Toby Keith. These country acts provide the lead vocals while the Boys only sing backing vocals.

In the mid-90s, Music/BrianWilson was released from the control his psychiatrist Eugene Landy and was looking forward to work with Andy Paley. However, one of his collaborator, the wrestler-turned-producer Joe Thomas envisioned an album celebrating Beach Boys hit songs with a country twist (this idea coincides with the fact that Joe was the owner of River North Records which had a country subdivision). Outside of ''Long Tall Texan'', the tracklists comprises of many of the band's most popular songs which were released during the sixties. This album also marks Brian's return to the band, after his absence on Music/SummerInParadise, where he's on producing duties along with Thomas.

Reception to the album was pretty much like any Beach Boys album released after Music/TheBeachBoysLoveYou up to this point. Some critics would recall it as "an embarrassement to anybody involved" and hardly any member of the band would come back on it. ''Stars And Stripes Volume 1'' also has the reputation of being completly ignored as a Beach Boys album due to the fact that the band has a minor involvement on it and no new orginal song is featured on it. The failure of ''Summer In Paradise'' also led people to believe that it killed any atttempt for the band to record an album and that their next LP would be 2012's ''That's Why God Made The Radio''.
