The U.K. disc Ballad Collection contains 17 ballads, largely from Stevie Wonder's '70s peak, but also containing a fair amount of songs cut in the '80s, including such soundtrack-only oddities as "Kiss Lonely Good-Bye" (from Pinnochio) and "Stay Gold" (from The Outsiders). Wonder, of course, had a lot of hits with ballads, but this shouldn't be taken as a hits collection, and while many of these songs are excellent, there are so many album tracks that it's hard not to look at the collection and wonder why personal favorite ballads are missing. Nevertheless, as a sampler it's enjoyable and it does unearth a couple of fairly hard-to-find cuts, so it's worthwhile for the casual fan while providing some nice bait for collectors. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Review
