To each his own. For some reason, possibly as a kid, there was a subtle charm to it, especially when Ringo added a cool percussion track to it. All a part of their evolution, and while it was no classic, it was a class act being that it did have something a little different which may not have been fully developed, but still showed that they were willing to move into other directions that you could never see their Pop contemporaries doing until after The Beatles made the first attempt. To me, even with some of the lesser songs, it's the little steps recorded in their Late 64-Early/Mid 65 era on the way to recording their triumphs that matter, and Tell Me What You See is a bit on the Folk side with an interesting twist to their "address the audience" manner of the early days, although of course Lennon's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" showed them that the early days of expression had to end with more personal and stronger songwriting.
Not a classic, but still a class act in my book.
