MOG Editorial Review

Whether you consider them straight-up funk or just vibrant R&B, it's hard not to consider the Ohio Players to be the perfect antidote to a rough day. Gold perfectly captures both sides of the band by gathering some of their objective best work in the '70s, covering both immortal groovy tracks like "Love Rollercoaster" and sensual slow jams like "I Want to Be Free." Throughout, though, the band show the ability to cover all the ground in between those two moods, and it's the fact that they're capable of this that lets them become one of the few bands to effortlessly shift through both sides of the soul spectrum. If you're looking for a perfect after-dark soundtrack, the Ohio Players just might do the trick.
AMG Review of Gold

Leo Stanley
All Music Guide

When it gets right down to it, the Ohio Players' albums were as memorable for their risqué album covers as they were for their music. Sure, there were some seriously funky individual tracks, but the Players couldn't keep the momentum up throughout the course of an entire album. And that's why Gold is such a useful collection, even in light of more comprehensive latter-day collections. Gold has the good stuff and absolutely no filler. From the scorching "Fire" and the wild "Love Rollercoaster" to the sly "Jive Turkey" and "Who'd She Coo?," nearly every one of the group's finest songs is present and accounted for on Gold. Naturally, there are some omissions -- "Funky Worm" really should have been on the collection, especially since it was their first number one R&B hit -- but this album should satisfy most listeners who just want the hits. If you want to dig a little deeper into their catalog without sampling their albums, try Funk on Fire: The Mercury Anthology, but otherwise, stick with the Gold and you'll reap its rewards.
