More Hits is the third studio album from Motown girl group The Supremes and is not a compilation as the title might suggest. All songs were written by the hit making team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. More Hits contains the US chart toppers Stop In The Name Of Love and Back In My Arms Again plus the US No. 11 Nothing But Heartaches. (US:6)
"More Hits is a precious Motown album, one you can listen to all the way through, over and over, without a moment of boredom. At this point in time, The Supremes were all but incapable of any wrong move."
"The girls were never cooler than when they sang Whisper You Love Me Boy, their cool, calm style is witness to their stability and genius in 1965."
"This aptly titled album captures The Supremes in their prime. The sensational combination of harmonies of Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson was just magical. The Supremes were aided by the excellent production skills of the sheer genius songwriting trio, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland."
"At the dawn of 1965, The Supremes staggeringly enjoyed their fourth consecutive chart topper with that familiar classic Stop! In The Name Of Love - undoubtedly one of their key landmarks, and more dramatic than their previous three hit singles. The group's lead singer, the divine Diana Ross, was clearly progressing as a highly adept vocalist whilst evidently developing a unique style and sound of her own."
"More Hits By The Supremes album was jam packed with potential singles. Each track carried the traditional Motown sound."
"More Hits By The Supremes is simply essential to any Diana Ross and/or The Supremes/Motown fan. At this early stage in The Supremes career Motown hadn't yet fully recognised the strong potential in albums being used as pieces of musical art. Every track is indeed a high grader making this more than a recommended album."
