Female Motown vocal trio The Supremes achieved three US chart topping singles in 1964. Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love and Come See About Me are all included here. The Supremes hit making machine was to continue, on both sides of the Atlantic, throughout the remainder of the decade and beyond. (US:2)

"Even though this long-player was the second collection to have featured the original Supremes line-up it was the first to significantly impact the radio-listening and record-buying public. It effectively turned the trio into one of the Motown's most substantial acts of the 1960s. Undoubtedly, their success was due to the formidable composing/production team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland."

"Like the debut, this contains a few singles and some filler. On the other hand, what singles! Where Did Our Love Go and Baby Love, are classic black pop. The rest of the album suffers in comparison, especially those cuts not built specifically to the restricted vocal chords of Diana Ross."

"Where Did Our Love Go contains The Supremes' first three number ones and are all just fantastic pop songs. These ladies had wonderful voices, great harmonies - they were about as good as it gets for girl groups."

"Where Did Our Love Go is more of a vehicle for The Supremes first three number one hits than it is a proper album. Every individual song is smooth and lush with harmonies and pop fare, but when put together the album lacks flow."

"If soul music had its own Meet The Beatles then Where Did Our Love Go is surely it, and its historic value and still undiminished pleasures cannot be overstated. This is the album that took The Supremes to the top."

"The album's title track had been a massive hit over the vacation months, putting The Supremes name on the lips of every teen and pre-teen whose ears caught it. This was no easy feat given the chart competition at the time."
