Album Review

There have been many Huey Lewis & the News hits compilations released overseas, but 2006's simply named "Greatest Hits" is only the second U.S. comp, following "Time Flies", which appeared a decade earlier. At a generous 21 tracks, "Greatest Hits" is not only five songs longer than "Time Flies", but it's a better-chosen collection, too. It may be missing "Bad Is Bad," but it has a stronger selection of early songs, like the wonderful "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do," plus a better selection of latter-day songs, including Huey's duet with Gwyneth Paltrow on Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." That doesn't mean the disc is perfect, however -- although this does have a stronger representation of their earlier material, it could use just a little bit more, and the non-chronological sequencing is a bit of a headache. That said, this has all the hits and no weak songs, making it the best Huey Lewis & the News compilation yet. [It's even better in the CD/DVD version, which contains a DVD with nine videos, including an original edit of "Doing It All For My Baby," a long version of "The Power Of Love," and a previously unreleased version of "Do You Believe In Love."] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
