At two discs and 40 songs in length, {^Gold} easily bests 2001's {^Magic} or 2002's {^Definitive Collection}. The compilation covers all phases of {$Olivia Newton-John}'s career, from her early years of {\country}-tinged AM {\pop} to her time in the {\pop} spotlight with {#Grease} and {#Xanadu} and all the way to her more recent {\adult contemporary} works with {$Diane Warren}, {$Babyface}, and {$Elton John}. Though die-hard fans might find a favorite omitted, this is only a slight misstep and chances are they already own it on one of the other greatest-hits collections. There have been countless {$Olivia Newton-John} greatest-hits compilations and anthologies, but nothing ever this sprawling and thorough in scope. This is the only release casual fans will ever need, and a fantastic starting point to discover a career rich in {\pop} music treasures. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
