AMG Review of Classics

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

The Classics installment in Universal's budget-priced, digital-only "recommendation series" focuses on some of Kiss' biggest singles, including "Calling Dr. Love," "I Was Made for Lovin' You," "Love Gun," and "I Want You." While by no means complete, it's a nifty little 15-track sampler that offers listeners who don't want to commit to a box set or two-disc overview the chance to ease into world of Kiss without drowning in a sea of stage blood and pyrotechnics (they can rent the DVDs later).
