Editorial Review:
After the frequently dark themes of his Warner Bros. years, James Taylor lightened his approach in the '80s and '90s with gentle affirmations such as "That's Why I'm Here" and "Shed a Little Light." Greatest Hits Volume 2, a sequel to the 1976 disc that has sold 11 million copies, covers this material with a generous 16 cuts. Unfortunately, thanks to the often too-polite production and a couple too many oldies covers ("Handy Man" is exquisite, "Up on the Roof" and "Everyday" somnolent), the work here is uneven and blurred together. A handful of gems do prevail, though; especially notable are "Secret o' Life"--perhaps Taylor's truly wisest song ever--and "(I've Got to) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That." --Rickey Wright

Rating:  - What can I say?
Who doesn't like a little James now and then. Some of the best music on this CD.
Rating:  - Not As Good As Volume 1 But Still Worth Buying
Volume 2 of James Taylor's greatest hits is a step down from the intensity of the first installment but that certainly does not mean it's bad. On the contrary, the music is fine. It just lacks the substance of the songs on Volume 1. The bottom line is that your James Taylor collection won't be complete without both halves of the greatest hits collection. These two CDs are essential for anyone interested in American popular music. Unless, of course, you're a big Taylor fan and already own all of his ... Read More
Rating: - "It's Good, but where is (insert favorite song here)"?
Greatest hits packages are not designed for the hardcore fan, the person who owns all the artist's albums, nor the fan of albums in general. There are undoubtably great, in some cases superior songs dwelling on the albums these songs are culled from, waiting to be discovered by the adventurous, buck-a-song downloader who is willing to drop a few extra clams for the album experience.
Greatest hits are usually exactly that: the best selling singles from an artists career bundled together ... Read More
Rating:  - A Great Follow to Greatest Hits 1
Greatest Hits 1 has been a best seller since the mid 1970s. It is a truly amazing artist who can have a greatest hits album so early in his career anyway. Greatest Hits 1 is a must-have. Greatest Hits 2, along with "Very Best of James Taylor," is another great album. It gives you some of the best songs from albums introduced after Greatest Hits 1 was released, but I do not know how they managed to narrow down this list of songs. Mr. Taylor really needs a Greatest Hits 3 and 4. Good buy.
Rating: - Great CD-
This CD contains most of my favorite songs. It's what you would expect from his greatest hits. If you like James Taylor, it is a must have in my opinion.....
