Greatest Hits is a compilation album by teen pop singer Tiffany. It is a collection of her 12 best songs (her first to be distributed in the United States) and was issued in 1996 by Hip-O (distributed by MCA Records).
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave a middling review of the compilation, suggesting "Tiffany's music hasn't dated particularly well -- the synthesizers and dance-machines will always sound like 1987 -- but for anyone wanting a collection of all of her finest moments, Greatest Hits more than fits the bill."[1]
Entertainment Weekly was a bit more positive in their review, writing "When Tiffany debuted in 1987, she conveyed teenage confusion and blossoming desire in a voice as ratty as her thrift-shop wardrobe. She even spoofed her own mall-rascal image over hot Latin rhythms in ”Mr. Mambo,” a rare B-side until now. The other 11 tracks on 'Greatest Hits,' five of which come from her first album, are less obscure. Although Tiffany’s music digressed into adult-ballad careerism, this set mainly proves how unrestrained her sonic youth sounded."[2]
Tiffany.org, a fan site run by Daniel Tobias, had this to say: "Despite early rumors, it does not have any new tracks, and does not include any of the tracks from overseas releases that are hard to find in America. The only B-side track included is (inexplicably) "Mr. Mambo", easily Tiffany's silliest song. There are lots of great Tiffany B-sides, like "Can't Stop A Heartbeat" and "Ruthless", that would have been nice to have on this CD."[3]
