Two things hit you while listening to this two-disc, 35-song collection. First: Reba McEntire, one of country's most twangy, yet recognizable and singular voices, has consistently chosen material that captures life's dramatic moments of consequence, whether it's the decision to leave a romantic coupling, face up to a failed relationship with a parent, or handle the passing of a loved one. And second: in the course of her 23-year career, several of her 33 #1 hits slipped up to the top of the charts virtually unnoticed, and seem hardly memorable today (e.g., "I Know How He Feels"). Yet the best of her work ("Whoever's in New England," "Rumor Has It") remains as emotionally resonant today as when it first appeared. Not only a fine singer, however, McEntire picked up the mantle of woman-to-woman songs first carried by Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. Long before Martina McBride began singing songs of social relevance, McEntire had been encouraging and empowering women to change their lives--to look beyond their roles as dutiful wives and mothers ("Is There Life Out There")--if perhaps more subtly than McBride. Reba #1's contains two new tunes: "You're Gonna Be," a mother's loving lessons for her child; and "Love Needs a Holiday," which recounts a married couple's much-needed motel getaway. The latter sounds like it could be the theme song to a spin-off of McEntire's TV sitcom, but the former, much like her most-loved songs, comes packed with wisdom for anyone attempting to navigate the unsettling storms of life. --Alanna Nash

New York Times - 12/2/05
Whether she's accompanied by a steel guitar or a synthesizer (or both), her focus is elegant storytelling.

Country Weekly - 1/2/06 - 4 Stars!
Reba's very biggest singles are all present here. Her natural charm and sass are apparent.

Customer Reviews

For the most part---YUCK!!!!!!!
This is my introduction to Reba. I liked her show and liked the little singing she did on it. I liked the first 10 songs sort of and absolutely hated the rest. It definitely is not country: it's a cousin to Celine Dion. It has those awful drums, sythesizers and strings and that constipated straining for emotion.

Great Stuff!
I'm not a big Reba fan, I bought this cd for my wife, and she LOVED it!!!

It's Reba, How can you not love her
personally a wonderful compilation of her many great tunes and a good add to a large and wide variety of a musical collection.
