AllMusic2012afafThom Jurek2012"The songs don't feel dated because they are contained in arrangements, compositions, and a production aesthetic that is timeless. The material was compiled from Maia's albums recorded between 1971 and 1978 ... It is the definitive compilation from his greatest years".Læs anmeldelse
