Seven
of the fourteen songs, including the singles "Help!" and "Ticket to
Ride", appeared in the film and take up the first side of the vinyl
album. The second side includes "Yesterday", the most-covered song ever
written. The album was met with favourable critical reviews and topped
the Australian, German, British and American charts.
During the
recording sessions for the album, the Beatles continued to explore the
studio's multitracking capabilities to layer their sound. "Yesterday"
features a string quartet, the band's first use of Baroque
sensibilities, and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" includes a flute
section. The North American release is a true soundtrack album,
combining the first seven songs with instrumental music from the film.
The omitted tracks are instead spread across the Capitol Records LPs
Beatles VI, Rubber Soul and Yesterday and Today.
In the US, Help!
marked the start of artistic recognition for the Beatles from mainstream
critics, including comparisons to the European art music tradition. It
was nominated in the category of Album of the Year at the 1966 Grammys
Awards, marking the first time that a rock band had been recognised in
this category. In 2000, it was voted 119th in the third edition of Colin
Larkin's book All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2020, it was ranked 266th on
Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
In September 2013, after the British Phonographic Industry changed its
sales award rules, Help! was certified platinum for recorded sales since
1994.
