They perhaps took themselves too seriously sometimes (and maybe at other times should have been a little bit more serious), but the fact remains that the Eagles were one of the most memorable singles bands of the 1970s, and their influence, particularly on several new country acts, continues to grow with the passing of time and trends. This double-disc, 33-track anthology hits all the obvious high points and includes such classics as the gleefully wry "Take It Easy," the wonderfully written "Lyin' Eyes," the mysterious and immortal "Hotel California," the pop gem "New Kid in Town," and easily a dozen other familiar hits. Not quite as essential, perhaps, but still fun to hear are later-era tracks like a surprising cover of Charles Brown's "Please Come Home for Christmas," a live version of Steve Young's "Seven Bridges Road," and the late singles "Get Over It" and "Hole in the World," all of which makes this a fine and in-depth introduction to an enduring band. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
