"The set abounds with discoveries, pleasant surprises, and songs that will make one want to hit repeat a couple times. That's high praise for a collection, and to be expected from a Grapefruit release".

"Sunshine Pop - a worldwide phenomenon, though most popular in the USA and the UK - predated the age of psychedelia only by a matter of months ... Many (...) eminently durable UK pop artists began life somewhere across these 3 discs. Herman's Hermits (Sleepy Joe, written by Carter), The Zombies (Friends Of Mine), The Hollies (Everything Is Sunshine), Cliff Richard (Mr Nice, penned by prolific UK hit writer, Terry Britten), Genesis (Try A Little Sadness, one of many songs rejected by Impresario, Jonathan King, when the band were starting out) and Petula Clark (Colour My World, written by another prolific UK hit writer, Tony Hatch).All of these artists used the Sunshine Pop banner to gain a foothold on fame".
