"The music ok just to clarify is 5 stars, but yet 2 stars is for the record company and there need to constantly reissue greatest hits of artists with one and two bonus gems. Why not just put a all new material out. Over all the cd is good. You get the single edits of Loving you Losing you and Living in confusion. The sound quality is superb, yet to me just another greatest hits packages. The two unreleased tracks are just OK. Nothing special."

A good compilation with two previously unreleased tracks.

"Numerous different compilations of Ms. Hyman's work have been issued since her tragic and untimely death but most (sadly) tend to focus exclusively on the hit singles. What's tragic about this is that with singers like Phyllis, Jean Carne, Angela Bofill, Patti Austin and Brenda Russell the best songs were album-only tracks that (while lacking commercial/mainstream appeal) displayed their true artistry. This CD's strong points are the inclusion of two previously unreleased-in-the-U.S. tracks ("In Between The Heartaches" and "If You Ever Change Your Mind") and the underrated lovely ballads "Why Did You Turn Me On" and "Some Way"."
