Best Of Cream was an excellent compilation from this famed blues rock band. However, they are really so good that their original albums represent a much better buy. (US:3 UK:6) "Basically every worthwhile Cream song, bundled together into an easy, ten song package. Take it for what it is; a decent compilation of some rocking songs."

"Cream really had an amazing run as a singles band, as this album will prove beyond any doubt."

"Pleasant collection of sixties blues rock from the masters. Impossible to fault, and still sounds surprisingly fresh."

"This is still a solid package, with all of their popular tracks plus some album cuts in Born Under A Bad Sign, Spoonful and Tales Of Brave Ulysses. If you want to get into Cream, without diving into their small discography, first look no further than this."

"All of these songs are of course classics but you'd probably be better off getting the original albums, Cream really doesn't have that big a discography after all."

"I would call this 'Cream for beginners'. A very tight greatest hits package. It has just about every Cream song you would ever hear on the radio and then a couple. Only notable omission is I'm So Glad. It makes up for it with Swlabr - one of my personal faves."

"With only ten tracks this LP may appear to be superseded by later Cream compilations, but the saying 'less is more' certainly holds true here, with not a weak track. This is the ultimate best of Cream - a great starting place."
