    What shines throughout these 45 tracks is the unerring songcraft, and a voice that's lost none of its power over a quarter-century.

    If you're a fan, it's a classy slice of nostalgia.

    A must-have item for collectors and die-hards, this is also good for casual fans that may not have all the classic songs in their collection.

    The inclusio0n of a live concert DVD from 2005 add some roughness but no reason not to just go out and buy whichever Sting albums you already like. [Nov 2011, p.98]
