Apr 27, 2026This package gathers all the hit albums in both mono and stereo mixes, a brace of quirkier film soundtracks, plus a couple of solid but comparatively underwhelming post-Sebastian releases, all with a generous helping of bonus cuts. [Apr 2026, p.98]

Classic Rock MagazineApr 27, 2026Hums Of The Lovin' Spoonful ('66) and Everything Playing ('67) include the odd classic, such as Nashville Cats, but don't gel so well, despite Yanovsky's flamboyant playing. The constant style shifting suits the soundtracks for What's Up, Tiger Lily? and You're A Big Boy Now, with groovy themes a-go-go. [May 2026, p.85]
