"This is a beautifully
compiled anthology whittled down from the five albums Griffith made for MCA in
the late '80s and early '90s. Interestingly, it all hangs together rather cohesively,
despite the stylistic differences from album to album. The songs from 'Storms'
and 'Late Night Grande Hotel', the former a folk-rock album and the latter verging
on Enya's New Age turf, are quite a bit different from the pure country of 'Lone
Star State of Mind' or 'Little Love Affairs'. It's a tribute to the intelligence
of Nanci Griffith's songwriting and her basic musicality that the songs hang together
so well. Highlights are almost too numerous to mention; the best (certainly the
catchiest) song might be the early "Once in a Very Blue Moon," but there's
nothing here that's less than rewarding." (From Tower records)
