AMG Review of Greatest Hits [Bonus Tracks]

Johnny Loftus
All Music Guide

This U.K.-only greatest-hits set from Lighthouse Family includes material from each of the duo's three albums. Naturally, "Lifted" and "Ocean Drive" are the highlights here; both cuts were enormous hits in the U.K. and Europe, and their soft contours define Lighthouse Family's layered, mature pop sound. Other highlights include "(I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be) Free/One" (from 2002's Whatever Gets You Through the Day) and single mixes of "Postcard from Heaven" and "Raincloud." [The 2006 U.K.-only bonus tracks version of Lighthouse Family's Greatest Hits features two extra tracks, including a remix of "Lifted" and "End of the Sky."]
