Though it isn't sequenced in chronological order -- in fact, it's sequenced a little bewilderingly -- Greatest Hits is nevertheless an excellent summation of Ray Parker, Jr.'s biggest hits; containing not just solo smashes like "Ghostbusters" and "The Other Woman," but also songs he sang during his time with Raydio. So, even if it could be presented better, it nevertheless gives fans exactly what they need. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
