"THIS IS BEST OF COMPILATION MAY BE SHORTER BUT SWEETER. SOME OF THE SONGS LIKE "GOOD LOVIN' "& "WHAT I NEED" AMONG SOME OTHERS THAT ARE NOT THE FIRST COMPILATION CD ARE FABULOUS. LOYAL FANS OF CRYSTAL WATERS AND THE GENRE SHOULD HAVE ALL OF HER MATERIAL. THIS CD IS PERFECT FOR CASUAL FANS OF CRYSTAL WATERS SINCE IT HAS HER BEST SONGS IN ONE PLACE. SIGNED... MUSIC FAN."

"Whilst Crystal is currently releasing strong new 12" material (such as 'Come On Down') another album is compiled of her older material. Following 1998's 'The Best Of' and the UK only 'The Collection' (released early 2001), this is already the third 'greatest hits' set of this dance performer. Unfortunately it's also the worst collection. Just like the 1998 official collection it focuses on album cuts rather than single remixes, which is always a mistake as her remixes are often much better. 'Gypsy Woman' is featured in an awful version and 'Say... If You Feel Alright' is missing. The only interesting thing is that it includes her rendition of 'You Turn Me On', which was previously only available on a film soundtrack. Other than that, it's more of the same and only interesting for fans."

"I love 100% Pure Love and a couple of others, but I was very disappointed that they didn't have the version of "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" that made her blow up. For me it's about the whole quality package, not a quantity of songs on a CD, which explains why I rated it as low as I did."
Solid dance collection

"I know the 20th Century Masters collections get a bad rap but I rather like them. They happen to be moderately priced collections with excellent remastering with a handful of the artist's most popular hits. This collection of Crystal Waters features her biggest hits ("Gypsy Woman", "100% Pure Love") plus lesser known songs ("Just A Freak" and her remake of "The Girl From Ipanema" reworked into "The Boy From Ipanema"). It doesn't include two of my favourite Waters tracks, "Relax" and "Say...If You Feel Alright", but this is still a good collection especially if you like '90s house music."
