Covers and Reviews
In November 1966 the song was covered by Bobby Vee. In 1998, the song was later covered by Thurston Moore singer, songwriter and guitarist of Sonic Youth on the Beach Boys tribute album Smiling Pets, which was only released in Japan. Recently the song was re-recorded by Brian Wilson and his band in his 2002 live album Pet Sounds Live. Stephen Davis, who reviewed Pet Sounds, stated that "Here Today" "portrays a pessimism and disaffection that jars with the previous optimism. It is the end of the affair..." Donald Guarisco of Allmusic described the song as "a highlight of Pet Sounds" and "one of Brian Wilson's most ambitious arrangements."

Famous quotes containing the words covers and/or reviews:
“And mimic desolation covers all.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
