The double album Greatest Hits Vol.2 was a highly significant release, since when combined with the first volume, it allowed the casual fan to obtain an extensive collection of Bob Dylan’s best songs from his most creative period. (US:14 UK:12)
“Every song on Volume 2 is a testament to Bob Dylan's brilliance. The songs range from folk-rock to pop-rock and country-rock. Dylan has raw emotion in his untrained voice. For me, he redefined the definition of singing.”
“Greatest Hits Volume 2 is not comparable to Volume 1 in terms of quality of material, though it is far more interesting for existing fans, or new fans who want to hear a little more of Dylan before delving into his back catalogue from this period.”
“There are many of the slower ballad type songs on this compilation and I daresay the picks are near perfect. All of the songs are classics, as much as I hate to use the term. I usually don't rate compilations, but this one stands on its own ground.”
“This is the only Dylan compilation put together by Bob himself, and it shows: it has a number of more obscure but essential selections, is beautifully sequenced, and manages to contain an entire side of otherwise unavailable songs.”
“Lots of unreleased nuggets to please the Dylan elitist, while still containing enough recognizable songs for rookies. This is one of the better Dylan collections out there.”
“Dylan's first Greatest Hits collection gathered most of his most well known songs from the 1960s, while this volume scoops up the rest. A number of these were big hits for other artists,. Selected from Dylan's incredible run of top notch 60s albums, this collection features both acoustic and electric tracks. There are sentimental romantic ballads and verbose tongue twisters. There are angry political rants and spiritually uplifting songs. Bob shows both his folkie side and his rock & roll side, and he's never been in better voice. This is the definitive collection from Dylan's classic period and is essential for any rock fan who does not own the original albums.”
