External Reviews
"It's a measure of Roy Orbison's classics that even some of the uptempo songs that break up the dominant ballad mood of this 20-song collection are themselves fairly melancholic. Rarely does Orbison allow himself the outright celebration of something like "Mean Woman Blues", more often going for the shades of grey that slip into "Blue Angel" and "Leah". Few could do what he achieves on these singles, and not just because few are gifted with such a voice. The biggest achievement of all may be Orbison's ability to make a devastated cry like "Only the Lonely" sound somehow peaceful." - Rickey Wright.
"There's re-issues yes, but the bulk of these seem to be just re-recordings - yes, he always tried to do them the same, but they always seem to lack that certain something that producer Fred Foster used to get out of the legend using a unique voice and range to the maximum. So you need to get these 20 titles of the original Monument cuts, and turn a blind eye to all the later re-recorded stuff, some of it 'live' too where the sound is often quite dreadful. Get The Best!" - Google Review.
