Review - Amazon.com
Listening to one of the Temptations' prestardom singles, "I Want a Love I Can See," on Hum Along and Dance, it's not hard to understand why it took a while for the group to find its breakthrough record: "Want" is a perfectly good, but unexciting, disc. This collection of "More of the Best" is no substitute for the group's biggest and best, but excellent tracks such as "You've Got to Earn It" and "It's Summer" help make for a fine bonus aimed at Tempts diehards. --Rickey Wright

- For those who want more

Rhino has, for over two decades, been a superb re-packager of classic rock & roll and soul. Clearly, however, Motown didn't give Rhino the entire Temptations catalog to work with. (Had they, Rhino would have at least equaled, perhaps bettered, the "Emperors of Soul" set.)

But for those like me who have dozens of copies already of "My Girl," "Cloud Nine," "Just My Imagination," and so forth, "More of the Best," is a splendid excursion into some of their better b-sides and album cuts. (SOME minor A-sides appear here: "Heavenly," "Take A Look Around," "Plastic Man," "I Want A Love I Can See.")

The majestic Smokey Robinson love song, "What Love Has Joined Together" (originally B-side to "It's Growing" and also recorded by Mary Wells) and the cocky "You've Got To Earn It" - "If you deserve it you can get it, I'll be glad to see you with it," (Originally B-side to "Since I Lost My Baby"), all by themselves seal the worth of this one. In a broader sense, "Earn" is a wonderful ode to self-respect, and Eddie Kendricks sings the lead as a man who will NOT have the love he offers taken for granted. Lyrically, it's loaded to the gills with some of Smokey Robinson's best rhymes and metaphors.

I'd give this disc five stars if it had confined itself to the pre-"Cloud Nine," non-psychedelic years (that is, the first six studio albums), but nevertheless for hard-core Temptations fans, this is a sincerely worthwhile pick. It's an album for those who do NOT have the "Emperors of Soul" 5-disc set, but would like to augment the more standard 'greatest hits' sets.

- I am so entranced by this Institution of Music.

What i am about to express in this review about this (in my eyes just truly "all of this,and that totally Classful). "Swingin&Singin",and " Dancin&Prancin" with inticate harmonies VOCAL Group can be said about every CD the've ever recorded.The TEMPTATIONS MOVIE is finally out.
