Hi there. I'll finish this review promptly. Steelkamp (talk) 10:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing against short articles being good articles. Some of my own good articles are quite short. The sourcing is good and the prose is well written. The problem I have is that there is no prose other than in the lead. The lead is mean to summarise the body. I recommend shortening the lead and incorporating all the information there into the article's body. I suggest creating a section on critical reception and another section on commercial performance. The only other issue I noticed is that it says it was the band's first greatest hits album in either the US or UK. This left me wondering whether the band released a greatest hits album anywhere else. If these things are addressed, then I think this can become a good article.

Thanks for the review Steelkamp. I tried the Commercial performance and Critical reception sectioning, but found that it left the latter too short. Instead, I've gone with a Release and Commercial performance and reception sections. I was able to take some of the info out of the notes that didn't fit that well in the lead. How does that look?

Regarding the first status, I've simplified the sentence to clarify it was their first greatest hits album overall. Tkbrett (✉) 13:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that layout works well. I'll pass the review now. Steelkamp (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
