AllMusic     [2]

AllMusic, commenting that the collection "focuses on the pop legend's mid-to late-period output", wrote "Simon fans looking for music from this specific period will find much to love here, while listeners looking for something a little more comprehensive would be better off with something like 1998's career spanning The Very Best of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better, or 2004's like-minded Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits."[2]
