Dinner Music is a 1970 studio album by American psychedelic soul group Rotary Connection, released by Cadet Records.
Reception Editors at AllMusic rated this album 2.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Andy Kellman writing that "the only accurate prediction one could have made before going into a Rotary Connection record was that it would be unpredictable" and continued that this is "the least-uniform Rotary Connection record", which "comes off like a series of tangents with little in the way of cohesion". Kellman also reviewed a single-CD compilation of Aladdin and Dinner Music, also rating it three stars, noting that this is the only way to get this music on CD, but critiquing that these are the band's two weakest albums. In a review for retailers, Billboard recommended this album for having "topnotch performances" and specifically praised Minnie Riperton's vocals.
"Want You to Know" peaked at 96 on the Billboard Hot 100.
