There's A Kind Of Hush was the final Herman's Hermits album to reach the US album top twenty. The title track peaked at No. 4 in the UK and No. 7 in the US. Also contains the top twenty hits Dandy, No Milk Today and You Won't Be Leaving. (US:13)

"Head and shoulders above the rest of the Herman's Hermits LPs, this one has some of their best work like Dandy, Mo Milk Today, and the great non single track Jezebel. If you are going to own any Hermits LP this is the one to get."

"This record is an example of British beat music from the mid sixties at its best. Herman's Hermits typified a sound of that era that was very melodic, heavy on rhythmic guitars, with focus on delightful harmonies and impeccable arrangements. All the songs were originals, except for the frantic Jezebel, and were written by the top professional songwriters of that era. What makes this record outstanding is not only the craft of the tunesmiths involved, but the marvellous arrangements. All the songs are terrific."

"The general impression is that Herman's Hermits were a singles band, but this LP shows the group to be rather more substantial than that. Not only does it show off elements of their sound that never made it onto their singles, but such attributes as their own songwriting, for which they seldom received any regard."

"There's A Kind Of Hush opens with the famous title track, which is a great example of why 1967 was such a wonderful time. The album also includes two hit singles of the previous year, No Milk Today and You Won't Be Leaving – both quality pop songs, that are quite different from each other."

"This is easily Herman's Hermits best album. Every track stands up on it's own. It is essentially a gathering of recent singles and such, but so what? It still rules."

"The Hermits' excellent 1967 album There's A Kind Of Hush was the group's last top hit in the States. Apart from the title track, it also contained such gems as No Milk Today and East West, both written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc fame."
