Among Novello's well-known songs are "[[Keep the Home Fires Burning (1914 song)|Keep the Home Fires Burning]]",<ref>[http://www.firstworldwar.com/audio/keepthehomefiresburning.htm 1917 mp3 recording of "Keep the home fires burning"] sung by [[John McCormack (tenor)|John McCormack]], firstworldwar.com, accessed 20 November 2009.</ref> "Fold Your Wings", "Shine Through My Dreams", "[[Rose of England]]", "I Can Give You the Starlight", "And Her Mother Came Too", "My Dearest Dear", "The Land of Might-Have-Been", "When I Curtsied to the King", "[[We'll Gather Lilacs]]",<ref name=Grdn/> "Someday My Heart Will Awake", "Yesterday", "Waltz of My Heart", "Why Isn't It You", "My Life Belongs to You", "Fly Home Little Heart", "Take Your Girl" and "Primrose".

In ''Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', Webb writes that although Novello's oeuvre is generally thought of as "romantic" and "[[Ruritanian]]", his music "was far more varied than his current reputation suggests". Webb contends that such romantic hits as "Someday My Heart Will Awake" were balanced by "rousing operetta choruses ... and jazz age numbers" while {{"'}}Rose of England' is a stately patriotic piece that stands comparison with [[Edward Elgar|Elgar]] or [[William Walton|Walton]]".<ref name=grove/>
