Yeah, this is one of my favorites as well. Equal to or greater than their British Invasion contmeporaries' best work.
I would argue this is not British Invasion music though. After they were banned from touring America in 1965, they diverged from those artists and made music exclusively with the British market in mind, incorporating influences like music hall that were non-starters across the pond.

The more I listen to it, the more I like it, it's quirky and unmistakeably british which makes is all the more charming. At first I didn't like it at all and found the songs unmemorable, but with every listen another 3-4 songs suddenly hit me so my love for this album keeps on growing. _________________ All time

Indeed. It didn't hit me upon first listen either. After associating The Kinks with You Really Got Me and All Day and All of the Night, I was unprepared tor the quaint British charm of these songs. But after prolonged exposure, the wit and charm worked their way into my ears and into my mind. Sometimes the albums that take a while to reveal their brilliance are actually the most brilliant of all.
