Amazon.com Reviewer Wolk Gets It Wrong..., May 24, 2000
...Dawn Robinson was not the premier EV vocalist-- if you look back, and you can do it well with this collection, all four singers seemed to mix and match their vocals to get the greatest effect. All four were premier...Cindy, however, seemed to be the de facto leader of the group--from her lead vocal contributions to "Hold On" and "You Don't Have To Worry" and Dawn's style made her to be the one most fellas would want to ask on a date. But by the time "Lies" and "My Lovin'" came about they showed that they could function as a four woman unit and still be strong performers. In fact, "Whatever", and Dianne Warren's "Too Gone, Too Long" (a much underrated piece of Envogia) showcases how great the remaining EV--Maxine, Cindy, and Southern Girl Terry--still are. And with the releasing of their new album, and in comparison with what's out there now, listeners will find that EV was a good group then and is still a good group now...

almost the best of en vogue, April 9, 2001
I LOVE EN VOGUE! with all my heart and soul, to the point of obsession. Sadly, this GREATEST HITS CD was a hit and a miss due largely to the fact that four essential EV hits, if not fan favorites, were left off the album. I'm referring to BORN TO SING's YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY and DON'T GO (which were both top 10 hits for the group) as well as that albums fan favorites JUST CAN'T STAY AWAY and PART OF ME. Instead, songs like NO FOOL NO MORE, which is one of my favorites by them, the lackluster LOVE DON'T LOVE YOU, and two so-so remixes at the end were included.To add insult to injury, the producers of this project didn't even bother to include the video versions of WHATTA MAN with the "GOOD GOD" outro, DON'T LET GO (LOVE) with Terry's ad libs at the end as they are in the video and a remix of the track, and finally LIES which had a hype remix with the rap included called the AVANT GARDE remix/extended version that included a piano solo at the end. All these tracks with said remixes would have truly made this album THE BEST of EN VOGUE. However, the video collection did include YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY and DON'T GO, at the end, but still omitted WHATTA MAN. This too was a hit and a miss but if you are a true fan of the FUNKY DIVAS you will forgive these transgressions and pray that in the future who ever decides to pay them homage will do so more deftly and accurately with care and love.

The best girl group ever!, December 21, 2003
By A Customer
En Vogue has to be the best girl group ever! They paved the way for many other new girlgroups like Brownstone, Xscape, Vybe, Pure Soul, Destiny's Child and SWV. This "Best Of" collection is a must have! I've been a long time EV fan and this CD gets listened to very often. Every popular hit of their's is on this compilation. I only wish a few other songs were included as well, like: "You Don't Have To Worry," "Part Of Me," "Silent Night," and "Hooked On Your Love." Those are also great songs that could've been included in this set, but nonetheless it's still a Great collection of their biggest hits. The highlights are: "Hold On," "Don't Let Go," "Lies," "Whatta Man," "Giving Him Something He Can Feel," and "Free Your Mind." This CD is very enjoyable and the kind of music you'll never get bored of. If you don't already own any of their albums, then grab this one today!
