AMG Review of Collection

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

The Collection is a strong 14-song overview of Yngwie Malmsteen's finest moments from his mid-'80s records, highlighted by "Black Star," "Far Beyond the Sun," "You Don't Remember," "I'll Never Forget," "Heaven Tonight," and "Guitar Solo (Trilogy Suite Op: 5/Spasebo Blues)," which showcases his blindingly fast neo-classical style in all its excessive glory.
