『The Ultimate Collection』というタイトルは必ずしも正確ではない。シュープリームスのアンソロジーとしては、モータウンが以前発売した『40 Golden Motown Greats』の方が完璧に網羅した選曲だったからだ。その代わりこの『The Ultimate Collection』はヒット曲の占める割合が高く、少ない出費でシュープリームスのいいとこ取りをしたいのなら、こちらがおすすめだ。おなじみの曲はすべて収録。大ヒットだけでなく中ヒットの曲も収録されているのがうれしい。（Gavin McNett, Amazon.co.uk）
Product Description
Out of print in the U.S.! The Ultimate Collection from Diva Ross and her two Supreme sidekicks is just that....the ULTIMATE Collection! This is the best single-disc compilation on the market by the chirpy trio and features more than a plethora of hits. The world is a much better place because of songs like 'Where Did Our Love Go', 'Stop! In The Name Of Love', 'I Hear A Symphony', 'Baby Love', 'You Can't Hurry Love', 'The Happening' and everything else on this CD. There's 25 great tracks here that say more in three minutes than many artists entire catalog. It's soulful. It's melodic. It's brilliant. It's the ultimate collection. Universal.

The title is a bit of a misnomer: The Supremes are anthologized in more comprehensive fashion on Motown's three-volume Greatest Hits series, while this package is denser, and has a higher hit-per-track ratio. But if you'd rather pick up one collection than three, and if you want a good, thorough skimming of cream from the group's catalog, this is the better choice. All of the familiar songs are here, with no major omissions--and they're packed in with a liberal helping of second-magnitude hits. For a collection that samples only the extreme top end of the Supremes' output, there's Every Great No. 1 Hit, also on Motown. It's missing a lot, but it delivers exactly what it promises. --Gavin McNett
