Análisis (en inglés) :
In many ways, {$Chris Isaak} is a perfect candidate for a "best-of" compilation: he has been consistent over the years, not only in the quality of his output but in his music, which hasn't strayed much from the sweetly moody retro-{\pop} -- part {$Elvis}, a large part {$Roy Orbison}, a small part early {$Neil Diamond} -- he essayed on his 1985 debut, {^Silvertone}. As such, his records can be a little interchangeable, but even the bad ones are enjoyable, and when they're mixed and matched as they are here on his first-ever compilation, they hold together as well as if it were a proper album. Not that {^Best of Chris Isaak} is exactly a "greatest-hits" -- he only had seven charting {~Billboard} singles, and three of them aren't here; it's understandable that the 2004 {\Christmas} tune {&"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"} isn't here, but 1989's {&"Don't Make Me Dream About You"} and 1995's {&"Go Walking Down There,"} while not big hits, may be missed by some casual listeners, particularly since this is a generous 18-track compilation that finds space for such OK relative rarities as a cover of {$Cheap Trick}'s {&"I Want You to Want Me"} and an acoustic version of {&"Forever Blue."} But these are the kind of complaints that are found only if somebody is looking for flaws, since otherwise {^Best of Chris Isaak} is an expertly chosen selection of his best easy-rolling, slyly sexy retro-{\pop}, containing his four big hits ({&"Wicked Game,"} {&"Can't Do a Thing (To Stop Me),"} {&"Somebody's Crying,"} {&"Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing"}) along with many of his best album tracks, like {&"San Francisco Days,"} {&"Two Hearts,"} {&"Speak of the Devil,"} {&"You Owe Me Some Kind of Love,"} and {&"Dancin',"} among others. It's so well done and so comprehensive, it's easy to imagine that for many listeners -- particularly those who liked {$Isaak}'s style, whether musical or personal -- that this will be all the {$Chris Isaak} they'll ever need. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
