Album information

Notable hit songs included on this album are "The Shoop Shoop Song", which charted at number one in more than 10 countries worldwide, "If I Could Turn Back Time", which was Cher's biggest hit at the time and "I Got You Babe". Three new songs were also recorded for this album: "Oh No Not My Baby" (originally sung by Maxine Brown), "Whenever You're Near", and a live recording of "Many Rivers to Cross" (originally sung by Jimmy Cliff).

Critical reception

AllMusic's Jose F. Promis gave the album three stars out of five. He described the album as "somewhat random — perhaps focusing exclusively on her rock hits would have been a better choice, because including just a couple of old tracks proves somewhat frustrating." He also pointed out that hit songs like "Half-Breed" were not included and believed it affects the album.
