Hi there. I'll finish this review promptly. Steelkamp (talk) 10:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

I have nothing against short articles being good articles. Some of my own good articles are quite short. The sourcing is good and the prose is well written. The problem I have is that there is no prose other than in the lead. The lead is mean to summarise the body. I recommend shortening the lead and incorporating all the information there into the article's body. I suggest creating a section on critical reception and another section on commercial performance. The only other issue I noticed is that it says it was the band's first greatest hits album in either the US or UK. This left me wondering whether the band released a greatest hits album anywhere else. If these things are addressed, then I think this can become a good article.

 * Thanks for the review . I tried the Commercial performance and Critical reception sectioning, but found that it left the latter too short. Instead, I've gone with a Release and Commercial performance and reception sections. I was able to take some of the info out of the notes that didn't fit that well in the lead. How does that look?
 * Regarding the first status, I've simplified the sentence to clarify it was their first greatest hits album overall.  Tkbrett  (✉) 13:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yep, that layout works well. I'll pass the review now. Steelkamp (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
