The first sentence is flavor, the next two describe the mechanics:
“You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn’t taken a turn in the combat yet.”
So in the first round of a fight, target an enemy that hasn’t gone yet and you get advantage.
And then:
“In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.”
This one is a bit trickier. Surprise is a specific situation, your DM will need to rule whether or not you have it. Most times, you won’t. Assassins kind of miss out when there’s a party involved, and the fighter or pally is clomping around in plate mail.
