Dolly is the sixteenth solo studio album by Dolly Parton. It was released on September 15, 1975, by RCA Victor. To differentiate it from Parton's 2009 4-disc, career-spanning box set, which is also titled Dolly, the album is sometimes referred to as Dolly: The Seeker – We Used To.

Billboard published a review of the album in the issue dated September 27, 1975, calling the album 'a collection of Dolly's favorite love songs. She wrote all of the tunes and is one of the better writers around. All beautiful songs, beautifully done.' Billboard also named 'Most of All Why', 'Because I Love You' and 'Only the Memory Remains' as the best cuts on the album.[5]
In the October 4, 1975 issue, Cashbox said, 'Produced and arranged by Porter Wagoner, this LP is a collection of love songs written by Dolly, most of them sad songs — songs of remembering lost love. Most are ballads with only a few uptempo cuts.'[6]
