The Smurfs - Smurfs Greatest Hits

All Music Guide

Whether as a novelty or a serious collectible for Smurfs fans, The Smurfs Greatest Hits is a brilliant collection of disco/dance/pop songs that will brighten up even the lamest get together. It will get children dancing with all seriousness and adults laughing in complete ecstasy, which is a rare feat. A good children's album meets the needs of two worlds: children and their parents. Here is a great one because it meets those needs and appeals to adolescents and single grown-ups. It is comprised of the best tracks from all of the '90s-edition British Smurf releases and includes two new ones: "Smurfy Girl" and "Papa Smurfs Party." The Greatest Hits is exceptionally produced and belongs in every child's music collection. As the '90s came to a close, Greatest Hits provided a look back at how the Smurfs had once again conquered Europe with their music. More importantly, this CD is one of the best children's albums of the 90s and the real shame was that it never saw the light of day in Amer...ica. - Peter Fawthrop, All Music Guide Read more Less
