Allmusic had this to say about Pass Me By:
Capitol aimed songs from Pass Me By at several different markets, and the effect is a scattershot LP with several nuggets but no real cohesion. First up is the delightfully tossed-off popcorn tune “Sneakin’ Up on You,” but it’s followed by the title track, a queasy strike-up-the-band march which surprisingly reached the charts. “Dear Heart” leans toward the countrypolitan sound (it would’ve fit much better as a vehicle for Charlie Rich), and the Beatles cover “A Hard Day’s Night” wasn’t a good match at all; Lee strains to hit the lower notes, and sounds tentative singing the lyrics. While her vocals are on the weak side from a technical standpoint, Lee’s interpretive powers are mostly intact, and her flair on “Sneakin’ Up on You” makes it a natural for one of those swinging novelties often heard on ’60s compilations.
