You Got What It Takes is the eleventh US album by the British band the Dave Clark Five, released on 26 June 1967 by Epic Records.

[1] The album contained four successful songs, a cover of Marv Johnson's soul hit "You Got What It Takes", the hit single "I've Got to Have a Reason" written by the band's guitarist Lenny Davidson and the bubblegum "Tabatha Twitchit" written for the band by Les Reed and Barry Mason.

Still, the LP's cover art had a psychedelic feel, with the band members captured in the artistic concept of a broken mirror.

"[7] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger wrote, "It did mark an improvement over their previous album, Five by Five, and was less formulaic, if hardly bold or startling.
