Crowded House - The Very Very Best Of Crowded House [2CD] (2010) Lossless

The Music Fix website described this release as a "shameless cash in" and recommended Recurring Dream as a cheaper and superior purchase. A BBC review also questioned, "Whether the world needs another Crowded House best of," but praised the album, saying that "several of these 19 tracks are solid-gold greats." Allmusic described the 32 track digital version of the album as, "The best Crowded House comp so far, verging on the definitive." The website musicOMH praised the album for being, "Littered with modern pop classics," but also recommended Recurring Dream as a better purchase, whilst admitting that the album, "will do enough business to warrant their record company's shameless opportunism." Classic Rock reviewer remarks how the band has progressed since the time when the material of the collection was recorded, but she says that "it's hard not to be wowed by this back catalogue of golden pop genius."
