A decent teaser...

"As the name of the release suggests...this is a disc of highlights. There is certainly essential Yes on this compilation although at only 12 songs, there are quite a few gems omitted. It was refreshing, however, to see that "Going for the One" was included! It's a great budget release, but certainly a teaser. Fans will want to jump to their boxed sets or a more lengthy best of, however it's tough to pens Yes' essential without hearing all of their classic releases."
Great collection for the casual fan

"Want to know all about Yes without listening to songs that are twenty minutes long? Do you want only the hits, instead of hearing songs in the context of their original albums? Are your favorite Yes songs "I've Seen All Good People," "Roundabout," and "Owner of a Lonley Heart"? If you answred "Yes" to any of these questions, I suggest you check out "Highlights: The Very Best of Yes." Everything the casual fan would want is here. Going in chronological order, the album takes the listener upon a journey from Yes' early days ("Survival," "Time and a Word") to their breakthrough album, "The Yes Album," with "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People," to their masterpiece, "Fragile," with "Roundabout" and "Long Distance Runaround" to their '80s revival album "90125," with the songs, "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "Leave It," to "Rhythm of Love" from the "Big Generator" album. For casual fans, does this album have everything you need? Yes."
The greatest hits of YES!

"I liked this CD because it had their old hits like "Roundabout" but also later hits like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" and "Leave It." A good collection of Yes hits for your music library."
