AMG Review of Greatest Hits

Ron Wynn
All Music Guide

The same holds true with this release as with the greatest-hit singles album. Isaac Hayes wasn't a singles artist in the strictest sense; he was an album and production wizard who took time to set up situations, moods, and themes. No single album can effectively communicate what he did in the '70s. Still, just because it isn't definitive doesn't mean it won't make a good sampler.
