Victim of Romance is singer and songwriter Michelle Phillips's first and only solo album,[3][4][5] 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 Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "an unexpected triumph," writing that Moon Martin's contributions were "excellent.

"[2] 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.

"[6] Billboard called Victim of Romance a "thoroughly delightful collection of Spectoresque rockers and ballads, dreamy blues, and melodic upbeat pop flavored tunes.
