One of the first hits compilations assembled of Jimi Hendrix's catalog, Smash Hits remains one of the best, since it keeps its focus narrow and never tries to extend its reach. Basically, this album contains the songs everybody knows from Hendrix, drawing heavily from Are You Experienced?, plus adding the non-LP "Red House," "51st Anniversary," and "Highway Chile." Those non-LP selections may still make this worth seeking out, even if they've appeared on subsequent hits collections, but the main strength of Smash Hits is that it contains the best-known big-name songs in one place. Maybe not enough to make the collection essential, but still enough to make it a representative, accurate sampler.---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Review

Smash Hits jest kompilacją utworów Jimiego Hendricksa zarejestrowanych na singlach. Została wydana w dwóch wersjach: brytyjskiej która ukazała się w kwietniu 1968 i amerykańskiej wydanej w lipcu 1969.
