The disc begins with the group's two biggest anthems, produced by the legendary Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic: "We Are Family" and "He's the Greatest Dancer". A review from Cross Rhythms noted that beyond these hits, the album includes other massive songs like "Lost In Music" and the group's 1985 comeback single "Frankie". The compilation also stretches back to their early days with tracks like "Love Don't You Go Through No Changes On Me" and "Mama Never Told Me," which the review describes as "decidedly lightweight" compared to their later sound. Also featured is a cover of the Mary Wells classic "My Guy".
