You Don't Bring Me Flowers is Neil Diamond's twelfth studio album. It was released in 1978 to capitalize on the success of the title song of the same name, a duet with Barbra Streisand, which had originally appeared as a solo recording on Diamond's previous album, I'm Glad You're Here with Me Tonight.

Cash Box said that of the single "Say Maybe" that it has a slight country and western flavor, and that "Diamond's entrancing vocal is strong." Record World said that "clever arrangement and full-bodied production accentuate the lovely background vocal chorus."
