MOG Editorial Review
Covering a period of time when they crafted classic albums like Can't Buy a Thrill and Pretzel Logic, the hits that make up A Decade of Steely Dan showcase the band at the height of their powers. Songs like opener "FM" perfectly showcase the band's ability to incorporate soft, jazzy elements into their sound without losing their rock core. By the time the compilation reaches later cuts like "Do It Again" and "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," Steely Dan's talent for poppy hooks and relaxing grooves has reached a unique, impossible-to-replicate niche. While soft-rock has become a dirty word in the time since Steely Dan's heyday, you'll be hard-pressed not to like this introduction to the genre's masters.

AMG Review of Decade of Steely Dan
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideA Decade of Steely Dan was one of the first compilations designed for CD, so it was intended to showcase digital sound as much as the music itself. Consequently, it's balanced to showcase at least one song from each of the band's albums, leaving off the compilation such minor hits as "Pretzel Logic," "The Fez," and "Josie." Nevertheless, the songs here -- including "Do It Again," "Reeling in the Years," "My Old School," "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," "Kid Charlemagne," "Peg," "Deacon Blues," "Hey Nineteen," and the non-LP "FM (No Static at All)" -- provide a good overview of Steely Dan's career, making the disc a fine introduction to the innovative jazz-rock group.
