The Best Of The Seekers was an excellent compilation that includes all the groups hits. With their folk tinged melodic pop, and the soaring voice of Judith Durham, The Seekers were one of the most successful and distinctive hit makers of the mid 1960s. (UK:1)

"Judith Durham had arguably the best, pure voice of any female recording artist of the 1960s. Her sensitivity and charm are exhibited in most of the songs. Judith's vocals are rich and pure and in some of her recordings she sounds like an angel. The harmonies of The Seekers are also excellent."

"The Seekers played an important role in the British Invasion of English music entering America in the 1960s. They offered people everywhere soothing rhythms and sweet melodies that proved to be both infectiously catchy and strikingly beautiful at the same time. This album showcases their talents very well."

"They were primarily folk and traditional and are led by one of the world’s greatest voices - Judith Durham. When you hear the voice, you know immediately who it is and listen, since her use of lyrics is easily understood, clear and melodic. It's hard to compare with anyone today, it's that good."

"Anyone who likes 60s pop music or appreciates folk music will absolutely love this album. Most of its songs make you want to tap your feet or get up and clap to the simple beat."

"This Australian quartet are amazingly versatile, with an inspired set of talents and range in this collection from the 60s, which not only endures but becomes richer. Judith Durham's ethereal intonations grace numerous songs, and bless them with a magic and purity that must be listened to with your heart, not just your ears."

"The Seekers remain one of the best groups of the entire twentieth century. Although they broke up after only a few years, their artistry lives on through their awesome words and music. Many in the music industry proclaim a 'unique style' but few can actually support those claims. The Seekers do."
