"To be three goals up at half-time is something of a rarity," Hughes said after the 4-2 win at Ewood Park.
"I don't think I have had the experience of going in at half-time 3-0 up, but I enjoyed it.
"I thought we were excellent in the first half. Some of our play was really inventive, especially in the final third.
"Our interplay, our rotation of positions and the way we moved the ball quickly gave Reading a real problem at times and I thought they found it hard to cope."
