She's Just My Style is the fourth studio album recorded by Gary Lewis & the Playboys. It was released in 1966 and reached No. 71 on the Billboard 200 Album chart. The title track peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was their fifth Top 5 single. With the assistance of that hit record, all four of their albums had hit the charts in less then thirteen months.

Critical reception

Brian Eder at AllMusic wrote: "She's Just My Style is much more of a rocking album than its predecessor, with a leaner sound and more upfront presence on the guitars and bass, and a pretty fair choice of covers (including a pair of Lennon and McCartney songs), all of them solid as rock & roll numbers."
