... 'Song Review' is most definitely a collection which focuses on the mainstream, inoffensive side of Stevie's career, complete with 'I Just Called…' and a horde of soundalikes. Ballad follows ballad as the compilers of the album seek to portray Stevie as a safe, almost bland soul singer with ... Read review

Review. That's the good news. The bad news is that
they're sequenced here about as well (or maybe
not) as your CD player's "random" function might
do it. Leading off with "Part-Time Lover"--a major
chart record, no doubt, but hardly the rouser
you'd expect for an opener--is puzzling enough.
It's when the programming starts veering from
highlights of his self-produced period ("Sir
Duke") to Motown assembly-line pieces ("My Cherie
Amour") that the head-scratching really begins.
And don't try to count the great moments that are
missing. This will do in a pinch, but if you own
no Stevie, be advised that better overviews of
Wonder's career (the finest by far being the
four-CD box At the Close of a Century) are
available.--Rickey Wright

Review of Song Review (The Very Best Of Stevie Wonder) - Stevie Wonder by Ryan74

Advantages: Some great songs
Disadvantages: Not a true career retrospective

...No. 1 to date. The song was heavily panned by the critics upon its release on the soundtrack to the so-so film 'The Woman In Red', and to this day it provokes a kind of revulsion among many artists and critics who believe this was the point where Stevie Wonder stopped being a driving force in soul music and was safely absorbed into the mainstream, releasing mushy muzak to please the coffee-table music masses who bought only one album a year. As ...
...piano… the sentiment behind the song is admirable but it is just so slushy and drippy. The lyrics go something like 'Ebony and ivory/Live together in perfect harmony/Side by side on my piano keyboard/Oh lord, why don't we?' and it sounds pretty embarrassing to listen to. It's by McCartney though, so I guess Stevie can be absolved of any blame here. 'Lately' is considered one of Stevie's best ballads but I found it to be dull, limp and uninspiring, ... Read review

Review of Song Review (The Very Best Of Stevie Wonder) - Stevie Wonder by luckyarchers

Advantages: Good music which shows Stevie Wonder’s different styles.
Disadvantages: Differences of opinion about greatest hits.

...to think that if a song is commercially good, it probably isn’t musically good.) Instead, I want to tell you about the tracks on this album and let you decide whether it is worth buying. One thing I am sure about is that there is no rubbish on this album. The tracks, to me, are either good or brilliant, therefore, I give the album 5 stars. A wide range of music influenced Stevie as he grew up including Gospel, Jazz, Reggae, and Motown. All of these ...
...Ivory (Paul McCartney) and Redemption Song (Bob Marley). The album starts off with the ballad ISN’T SHE LOVELY, where as an obviously very proud father, Stevie thanks God for the birth of his baby. When Stevie isn’t singing on this track, he is playing the harmonica. I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU, a good ballad for smooching to, is Motown's biggest selling single in the UK. I find the strong beat of SUPERSTITION haunting, while Stevie sings, ... Read review

Review of Song Review (The Very Best Of Stevie Wonder) - Stevie Wonder by DEE

Advantages: Some classic tunes
Disadvantages: Does include the only annually appropriate "Happy Birthday"

I would never have thought of buying any of Stevie Wonder's albums, but was given this CD as a gift and it has been overplayed ever since. With 21 tracks this is perfect music to play when you are relaxing on a Sunday after a hectic weekend or equally suitable to play in the car and have a good ole' sing-a-long to ease those traffic-jam blues. All the favourites are there, including "Isn't She Lovely", "I Just Called To Say I Love You", "Ebony and ... Read review
