"For a band whose legacy rests on the restless sprawls of their catalog, Can could also turn improvised uncut cloth into something stunningly concise. This new comp shows that lesser-known side of Can ... The Singles traces both Can's genius and how they ultimately ran out of ideas, losing all of their Vitamin C".

"German art rock innovators Can were known for creating relentlessly experimental albums boiled down from endless improvisational sessions, but they possessed a keen sensibility for writing offbeat pop songs ... For all of their serious, avant-garde inclinations, Can could be awfully fun to listen to, and this alternate universe hit parade is a sterling demonstration of the group at its most immediate, energetic, and enjoyable".

"Det kan virke en kende spøjst at udgive en single-opsamling, når man har at gøre med så ukonventionelt et band som CAN ... Men midt i al den improviserede galskab opstod dog også nogle overraskende catchy sekvenser og idéer, som kunne klippes ned til noget, der mindede om en single. Enkelte som »Spoon« og »I Want More« blev ligefrem til hits i Tyskland, mens andre som »Halleluwah« og »Vitamin C« med deres monster-grooves er blevet flittigt samplet i hiphop-kredse.»The Singles« samler for første gang samtlige 23 CAN-singler og byder sig til både som intro for nykommere og et nyt tværsnit gennem et af alletiders bedste bands' ekstremt spraglede kataloger. Kvaliteten daler mærkbart mod slutningen, men det er aldrig uinteressant".
