    Those previously not exposed to Browne’s music, or fans of these performers he influenced, can start here for a terrific taste of one of America’s most stunning and keen lyricists.
  2. Many of the other stars sound like they want to crawl inside Browne’s throat, the better to get closer to the mind that created such exquisite work. Even the most reconsidered renderings make sure never to get in the way of the words.

    Jackson Browne fans will be extremely satisfied with this set, one that Browne himself must surely be smiling upon.

    The predilection for ruminative introspection eventually gets a little heavy, but on a track-by-track basis this collection is very good.

    Not every performance is memorable, and the absence of younger fans is a missed opportunity.

    Too often his songwriting is so tasteful that it can tend toward the anonymous. [May 2014, p.88]
  7. 60
    Across two discs there are too many mediocre versions, most revering the polite preciosity of the original Laurel Canyon folk-rock settings.
