In the summer of 1997, took a sappy reworking of to the top of the charts across the world; it became the biggest single in history. The success of also helped to make hip again among both and artists. So, what better way to celebrate the occasion -- as well as the 20th anniversary of first album -- than to release another compilation, this time combining highlights from 's solo career? does just that, compiling 14 songs in a seemingly random chronological order. cuts are generally classics, but there are several big hits left off, which should probably be expected for an integrated collection like this. There's plenty of good music on 's solo records, but the selection here emphasizes his MOR side instead of some of his more ambitious material. Obviously, that selection is designed to snag a mature, 30-something audience, which makes the inclusion of 's remix of (included in both its original and remixed incarnations) a little puzzling, since that strives to appeal to a younger audience. Then again, you don't really expect coherence from a collection that simply wants to cash in at the right moment. While it's hard to ignore the fact that this disc isn't necessary, the music itself is good, and certain casual fans may find this useful. But anyone following or for any length of time will find superfluous. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
