First biography paragraph from All Music (by Richie Unterberger):

One of the most interesting and difficult-to-categorize singers in '60s pop, Gene Pitney had a long run of hits distinguished by his pained, one-of-a-kind melodramatic wail. Pitney is sometimes characterized (or dismissed) as a shallow teen idol-type prone to operatic ballads. It's true that some of his biggest hits -- "Town Without Pity," "Only Love Can Break a Heart," "I'm Gonna Be Strong," "It Hurts to Be in Love," and "Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa" -- are archetypes of adolescent or just-post-adolescent agony, characterized by longing and not a little self-pity.

All Music Album Review (by Cub Koda):

Just what the title implies, this Bear Family collection features a nice overview of the highs and lows from Pitney's lengthy career. Gathering up his earliest non-hit sides (some recording under different pseudonyms) along with some of his biggest hits, this provides us with a picture of an artist in development and eventually hitting his hitmaking stride. Along the way you're treated to the original demos of "Hello, Mary Lou" and "Today's Teardrops," early duet sides as Jamie and Janie, a German sung version of "Town Without Pity," and other early rarities. A fascinating collection done up with usual Bear Family quality. A good one to add to any basic greatest hits collection.
