AMG Review of Ultimate Luther Vandross [2001]

All Music Guide

Fans who prefer a little bit more material and/or Vandross' earlier era might be more satisfied sticking with the 20-song The Best of Luther Vandross, which only goes up to the late '80s in its coverage. However, The Ultimate Luther Vandross is his best single-disc compilation, with 17 songs from 1981-1994, 13 of which were Top Ten R&B hits. Naturally, his big Top Ten pop hits, "Here and Now," "Power of Love/Love Power," and "Don't Want to Be a Fool," are here.
