Editorial Review:
Kicking off A&M's ambitious Cat Stevens reissue program is this 20-song introduction. The set surveys all of Stevens's stages, from the orchestrated late-1960s sides through his early-'70s peak to his more eclectic late-1970s experiments. Following the progression makes for an interesting endeavor as Stevens learns to harness his ambitious ideas with arrangements that don't obscure his rhapsodic messages. Few artists of his generation were more gifted when it came to plucking timeless melodies out of thin air, and his sumptuous voice was always able to movingly convey his bittersweet lyrics. As a career overview (including one previously unreleased cut) this set achieves its goal, hitting all of the chart successes along the way and basically defining his role as a sensitive '70s singer-songwriter, but some fans may opt for the classic early-'70s studio records, which find Stevens at his most consistently touching. --Marc Greilsamer
The Very Best of Cat Stevens Reviews:
Cat Stevens; The Very Best of... 
2009-09-28 - O.K., this has some of the songs that we all knew and loved from Cat Steven's continually progressing inventory. One of the things that made Steven's music interesting is that he was always on a path, his style was constantly evolving. This "Very Best" gathers samples from his evolutions from 1976 to 2000. Some very notable songs like "Ruby Love" and "How Can I Tell You" are missing from these titles. And some of the versions of songs such as "Hard Headed Woman" can be found with much more punch and syncopation in earlier releases. So if you want to get to know the unique Cat Stevens style, this is a good place to start, just don't think that when you have this that you have collected all of his "Very Best".
