"on May 16, 1966, ""Pet Sounds"" was widely influential and raised the band's prestige as an innovative rock group. Early reviews for the album in the US ranged from negative to tentatively positive, and its sales numbered approximately 500,000 units, a slight drop-off from the run of albums that immediately preceded it. It was assumed that Capitol considered ""Pet Sounds"" a risk, appealing more to an older demographic than the younger, female audience upon which the Beach Boys had built their commercial standing. Within two months, the label capitulated by releasing the group's first greatest hits compilation, ""Best of the"

Paul McCartney frequently spoke of his affinity with the album, citing ""God Only Knows"" as his favorite song of all time, and crediting his melodic bass-playing style to the album. He acknowledged that ""Pet Sounds"" was the primary impetus for the Beatles' 1967 album ""Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"". According to author Carys"
"In January 1966, Wilson commenced recording sessions for the Beach Boys' forthcoming album ""Pet Sounds"", which was largely a collaboration with jingle writer Tony Asher. The album was a refinement of the themes and ideas that were introduced in ""Today!"". In some ways, the music was a jarring departure from their earlier style. When the other Beach Boys returned from a three-week tour of Japan and Hawaii, they were presented with a substantial portion of the new album, and various reports suggest that they fought over the new direction.
