"This compilation harbours at least five of the best songs I have ever heard... and it sits at third place. I won't even begin to describe its versatility. Essential. 10/10"
"The ultimate grower. Hardly inaccesible but difficult to see its majesty initially. 'Well I Wonder' has Morrisseys best lyric ever (the first verse). 10/10"
"Every Smiths album is on par with another (bar 'The Queen is Dead)' but in terms of pop perfection nothing surpasses 'Strangeways'; 'Girlfriend in a Coma', 'Stop Me'... you get the drift. 10/10"
"Morrisseys first slice of the 21st century. 'I'm Not Sorry' is beautiful whilst the singles better almost any of those released during the 90's. 9/10"
"The most criminally underated album on this list. 'Everyday is Like Sunday' would have been a standout on a Smiths album whilst 'Break Up the Family' is amongst the best songs he ever wrote. 9/10"
"'Life is a Pigsty' is as close to a masterpiece as Morrissey has ever come post Marr. 'Tormentors' is consistantly strong; haunting, bold, bombastic, brilliant. 8/10"
"The delicate jangle of The Smiths and much of his solo output is but a memory. The music here is harsh, hard with a sprinkling of pop with 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' 6/10"
"At it's worst 'Maladjusted' is a bore, 'Ambitious Outsiders' is anything but ambitious. There are a few gems, most notably single 'Alma Matters' 6/10"
"'Sing Your Life' is Morrissey at the top of his game, "make no mistake my friend, your pointless life will end", cynical but oddly inspirational. A decent album, a tad on the dour side. 6/10"
