Can't Take My Eyes Off You is a studio album by Nancy Wilson, released on Capitol Records in 1970. It was produced by David Cavanaugh, with arrangements and conducting by Phil Wright and Jimmy Jones.

In a positive review, Record World called it "another bright and warm outing for the multi-talented Miss Wilson. This is a composer's album with songs by Bacharach and David, Leonard Cohen, Leiber and Stoller, and Jimmy Webb."[5]

The album also contains an early Bacharach song written with

Hurt So Bad (1969), but it proved so successful on radio that Capitol made it the title track of her new album.[6]

Can't Take My Eyes Off You entered the Billboard 200 on March 28, 1970, peaking at No. 155 and remaining on the chart for six weeks.[7] It fared better on Billboard's Hot R&B LPs, reaching No. 38.[8]

In 2013, SoulMusic Records released a digitally remastered version of the album, paired with Now I'm a Woman, another Wilson album from 1970. The compact disc contains three bonus tracks.[9]
