Platinum & Gold Collection
The Phyllis Hyman entry in the Platinum & Gold Collection series concentrates on the singer's most commercially successful years, from the late '70s through the early '80s (also her Buddah and Arista years), while including a stray pick from later recordings. As with most of the other discs in this midline series, it's short and sweet, but it's rather peculiar in that it sacrifices a few chart entries -- "Can't We Fall in Love Again," "Riding the Tiger," and "No One Can Love You More" are absent -- for album cuts and a small clutch of obscurities. This approach doesn't make the disc the best summation of Hyman s career, especially if you want all the radio hits. However, the disc does help illustrate the depth of the Hyman s discography. "Some Way," an album cut that's also one of James Mtume and Reggie Lewis finest productions, along with a pair of 1980 outtakes produced by Norman Connors and Chuck Jackson (neither of which have appeared on a U.S. release until now), has the right to be here. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
