Criticism

  • Entertainment Weekly (9/20/02, p. 104) - ... A triple disc that has all the recognizable hits along with must-own obscurities ... (A triple CD with all the hits and obscure recordings that you have got to....)
  • NME (magazine) (7/8/95, p. 46) - 10 (out of 10) - ... indispensable ... (... indispensable ...)
  • Stephen Thomas Erlewine AMG: Casual fans might want to stick with the Hot Rocks sets, since they just have the hits, but for those that want a little bit more, the Singles Collection is absolutely essential. ("Casual fans" may stick with the Hot Rocks album because they want the hits; but for those who want a little more, the Singles Collection is absolutely essential.)
