Ranked #6 in Rolling Stone's '10 Best Reissues Of 2011' -- "This is the Wall of Sound at its Top 40 height...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "There are plenty of delights here, from Spector's slam-bam bombast to Darlene Love at her finest on 'My Heart Beat A Little Faster' -- among the most soulful cuts Spector recorded.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With his girl groups, he found musical poetry in those baleful, yearning words and melodies, capturing better than anyone since what it actually feels like to be a lovelorn teenager.", "Brilliantly raw and ebullient, the collection's clarity and bristle allows a new way of thinking of such timeworn AM oldies-but-greats."
