    Time Flies does a better job of rounding up the highlights from their patchy turn-of-the-millennium albums--actually, it emphasizes Heathen Chemistry almost a bit too much, with its five tracks outweighing the number of selections from Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory--and has space for selections from their smashing final album Dig Out Your Soul.

    Time Flies... is the memorial to the greatest rock'n'roll cartoon of them all, one which, re-formation dreams aside, ends here now. [Jul 2010, p.144]

    The songs compiled here were the public face and sound of that--all-inclusive, heroic and, for the most part, bloody catchy. As eulogies go, it's not half bad.
  5. NOW Magazine
    80
    More than 130 minutes long, Time Flies opens with the untouchables (Supersonic, Roll With It, Live Forever, etc.), veers into the questionable (The Hindu Times, All Around The World) and the avoidable (The Importance Of Being Idle), and ends with late-period tunes that demand reconsideration (The Shock Of The Lightning).
  6. PopMatters

    Even with a number of hiccups in the assembly, what Time Flies does incredibly well is show how strong Oasis always was. Even when their album quality sagged a bit in the middle, their singles were top notch.

    Time Flies, though fun, is no more than a handy place to nab all 27 Oasis' singles in one unfilteresd, undescerning grab. [Jul 2010, p.124]
