Herman's Hermits were the second-biggest singles act of 1965, right behind The Beatles, so it was appropriate that they finished off the year with their first compilation, which contained seven successful singles, led by the gold-selling number one hits "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am," and including four more Top Ten hits in "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat," "Silhouettes," "Wonderful World," and "Just a Little Bit Better." plus the Top 40 hit (number one in the U.K.) that started it off, "I'm into Something Good." The group was more an image than a band, recording cheery covers of old favorites while depending on the good looks of its teenaged frontman. But the music was well-produced by Mickie Most, and it remains entertaining, if sometimes precious. The Hermits had more hits (and released two more volumes of best-ofs), but they never surpassed their first year. ---William Ruhlmann, AllMusic Review
