"After seven studio albums and a number of live recordings, you might think an introduction to Rufus Wainwright would be unnecessary, but that's exactly what you get on Vibrate: The Best Of Rufus Wainwright. Labelled as a 'best of' rather than a greatest hits collection (his biggest ever hit, 'Going To A Town', charted at #54), this album approaches his music through a radio-friendly lens. An unabashed attempt to pull together the disparate strands of his sound - part troubadour/part popstar/part diva - into 18 tracks that shirk his more overt theatrics for mainstream success".

"Some fans may miss their exclusion from Vibrate, which is not to say that Vibrate isn't a substantial window onto Wainwright's oeuvre. On the contrary, rather than simply presenting a chronological set of songs from his first album to his most recent, Wainwright attempted to present this career-spanning overview with an ear to creating a dramatic flow for the listener, the same way he does with all his albums. The result is a beautifully curated mix of songs, each of which offers a chapter in the story of Wainwright's life and career".
