 Public magazines such as Time and The Detroit News commented on the Supremes'polished presentation. Time called the Supremes the "pride of [the] Detroit [sound]" and described them as "three thrushes who have a touch of gospel and sweet lyrics like' I 'm standing at the crossroads of love'." Arnold S. Hirsch of The Detroit News said about the Supremes: "they don 't scream or wail incoherently. An adult can understand nine out of every 10 words they sing. And, most astounding, melody can be clearly detected in every song." In addition, unlike most American vocal groups, the group members became easily identifiable by their fans, thanks partially to the cover of their album, More Hits by the Supremes, which each member was pictured separately on the front, with her signature above it.
