"Garfunkel is a great (and perhaps even an underrated, at this point) vocalist, but undoubtedly his best moments were while he was a part of Simon and Garfunkel (and several of his solid solo efforts are curiously absent from this compilation, too). At 28 tracks, The Singer batting average isn't too spectacular, though the gorgeous "Disney Girls" and of course the classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water" are (almost) enough to make the inanity all worthwhile".

"Garfunkel never was a writer; he was only a singer, and even at his best he wasn't exactly an interpreter -- he sang the songs as they were written, always to the best of his abilities. This comprehensive but non-chronological 34-track retrospective does a superb job of rounding up Art's highlights".
