Reflections not Greatest Hits!
R. Erkhart | Leakesville, MS USA | 03/22/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I cannot see where others are getting the idea that this was to be a Greatest Hits album. It says it is Reflections. If you truly are listening to the album, it is a collection of songs that are Mary's reflections. And as such it is a very well composed album. I first listened to it through Napster after hearing one of the songs playing in Best Buy. I then listened while on the beach at vacation and loved it so I immediately purchased from Amazon CD while on vacation. This is a REFLECTIONS album and truly good! (I will add that on Napster at the time 4 songs were not downloadable and once I got the full CD I was not as impressed with those which were mostly duets with others.)"
After 14 years of chart-topping dominance, Mary J. Blige des
Glen Zimmerman | Lindenwold, New Jersey | 02/13/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The younger generation's version of Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige burst upon the hip-hop/soul scene in 1992, remained on fire through the end of the decade, and continued to have a respectable and successful career into the 2000's. With her kind of success over the years (including more than 35 charting hits), she's the type of artist who should command a multi-disc anthology. What we have here instead is quite possibly the hastiest, most uninspired retrospective ever assembled for such a towering artist. The two biggest problems are that it concentrates mainly on her post-90s period, which, while decent, doesn't quite measure up to the 411/My Life/Share My World era. Another huge indiscretion is the curious omission of no fewer than 10 songs that should definitely NOT be absent from a true MJB Greatest Hits collection (i.e. Sweet Thing, Reminiscing, the original version of My Life, Seven Days, All That I Can Say, and a number of others)."
