 Starr Quality! November 1, 2007
R. A. Cross (U.K.)

This is the second ever 'Best of' compilation from Ringo. The first (Blast From Your Past) had just 10 songs and ran for about thirty minutes. This new collection doubles that and brings us up to date.
br /
br /All the early singles are here of course, plus the excellent b side 'Early 1970'.There are four tracks from the fabulous 'Ringo' album, and four from the not quite so fabulous 'Goodnight Vienna', including what was arguably its best track, the Elton John penned 'Snookeroo'. (Inexplicably excluded from the earlier package.) Newer tracks are included from the albums 'Ringo's Rotogravure',Vertical Man','Time Takes Time'. 'Stop Smell the Roses','Ringo Rama'and 'Choose Love'.This includes his comeback single 'Weight of the World which, although never a big hit, was played heavily on the radio and deserved to fare better. The highlight of the album to me, is the track 'Never Without You, Ringo's tribute to former bandmate George Harrison, and featuring a guitar solo from Eric Clapton. This track was new to me, but had I ever heard it I'd have bought the album just for this one! The inclusion of Ringo's duet with Buck Owens on 'Act Naturally'is a nice touch, and a reminder of where it all started.
br /
br /The album is not quite a full career overview- there is nothing from his first 'Sentimental Journey' album, or several of the later ones, but the description 'Best of' is in this instance probably accurate. The booklet is informative, with Ringo's own recollections on each song. If, like me, you bought his first few albums then lost interest, this album is an excellent opportunity to revisit those old gems and to sample what came later.

Ringo Starr maybe the least accomplished vocalist of the ''fab four'' but his best off album gives us some of the best pop songs of the early seventies, indeed anyone of the same era as myself will love these songs and fondly remember such gems as, your sixteen, photograph, back off boogaloo, it don't come easy and the autobiographical snookeroo
br /an album to be loved by all! a must purchase for anyone who thought Ringo could only play the drums.
The Least Talented Beatle Is A Starr ! September 18, 2007
Brien Comerford (Glenview, Illinois United States)
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This impressive compilation displays Ringo Starr's finest attributes as a drummer, vocalist and lyricist. His songs are replete with joy, levity, yearning and a touch of melancholy. Ringo has always had a vaudeville appeal and he shares MACCAS infectious optimism. His last four CD's "Choose Love", "Ringo Rama", "Vertical Man" and "Time Takes Time" are evidence that Ringo Starr has remained in his prime into his 60's. Off the stage Ringo Starr is a pacifist humanitarian, vegetarian and animal welfare activist. He personifies everthing that was positive in the 1960's.No song exemplifies Ringo's style more than "Photograph". Perfect !
 Back off boogaloo! September 1, 2007

It's been a long time coming but this is a great selection of Ringo's songs. My favourites are from the early '70s, great singles like 'Back Off Boogaloo', 'It Don't Come Easy' and 'Photograph'. Most of the tracks are good-time sing-alonga-Ringo songs that sound good all these years later. The booklet includes snippets from an interview with Ringo talking about each of the songs. Pleased I bought this!
Pure Gold. January 5, 2009

There are some great Ringo Starr tracks on this album, but there are also what I believe to be some glaring ommissions as well as some slight oversights.
br /
br /La De Da was a brilliant single from Vertical Man, yet was not included on this compilation. I also thought the track Pure Gold from Rotogravure should have been added to this CD. It would have been nice to have maybe some new live versions of old Ringo Beatles classics such as Octopus's Garden, Don't Pass Me By and Honey Don't, although Act Naturally was a step in the right direction.
br /
br /All the best hits other than those I have already mentioned are here, most notably for me You're Sixteen and Photograph. Never Without You is a great song too, which was written as a tribute to George Harrison, and as such is very touching. Of course, Snookeroo, Back Off Boogaloo, It Don't Come Easy, No-No Song, Beaucoups Of Blues and the John Lennon collaboration Good Night Vienna are featured herein.
br /
br /Great overview of, and introduction to, the solo career of Ringo Starr.
