The Best Of was the third compilation package from Cliff covering the years 1965-68. There was a distinct dip in the quality of many of his singles after this release. (UK:5)
"Cliff further developing his craft and maturity as a vocalist. There are fewer uptempo rockers and more of the mellow pop ballads that have dominated his career ever since. The sublime Visions stands out as flawless performances of wellconceived ballads."
"He manages to retain a youthful vocal style, even when confronted with lightweight material. His phrasing and ability to convey soul and depth of feeling puts many of today's popular singers to shame."
"Whatever your thoughts on Cliff Richard, you can't deny that he knew a good song when he heard it and turned it into a piece of pop history."
"I prefer Cliff with the older material as here, some great songs, not all that modern stuff of today. Long live Cliff, last of the legends."
"Great music from Britain's most successful singer, Cliff Richard, the No.1 hit-maker. Grab yourself a slice of British pop music history at it's best. He has to be the world's living legend - an amazing, talented and zestful performer."
"Only one singer can claim to be consistently good at finding the right songs at the right time and that singer is Cliff."
"The Day I Met Marie is a class song, way ahead of its time, and Cliff's finest moment. The use of brass is astonishing and the production superb, a great tribute to 60s pop."
