Super Hits is a 1970 compilation album released by American soul singer Marvin Gaye on the Tamla label. It compiles Gaye's string of pop-R&B songs he recorded during 1962 to 1969.[2]

Critical reception

Music critic Robert Christgau viewed Super Hits as the best album released by Motown.[3] In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Ron Wynn gave it four-and-a-half out of five stars and called it "a fabulous anthology, one of the best ones Motown ever released."[4] The New Rolling Stone Record Guide (1983) gave Super Hits four out of five stars.[5]

A similarly titled compilation album was released in 2001 by Legacy Records and Sony Music,[6] which The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004) warned was "not the wonderful 1970 Motown collection, now deleted, but a budget set of Midnight Love material."[7]
