AMG Review of Classics

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Classics is a ten-track budget-priced collection that features some of his biggest hits, including "American Pie," "Vincent, " "Crying," and "Since I Don't Have You," " as well as a new version of "American Pie." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc -- after all, it has all of his best-known songs -- there are better collections available, offering more songs and better sound for not much more money.
