Pro Reviews: Ultimate Santana: His All Time Greatest Hits
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Billed as the first Santana compilation to span his entire career, it is true that Ultimate Santana does indeed run the gamut from 1969's "Evil Ways" to 2002's "Game of Love," but if you think that means it handles all phases of his career equally, you'd be sadly mistaken. Essentially, this 18track set plays like a collection of highlights from his Supernaturalera comebacks, spiked with a couple of classic rock oldies because that's what it really is. It contains no less than ten superstar duets, including new numbers with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger (the streamlined and smoothed "Into the Night," which has little of Kroeger's trademark growly histrionics) and Jennifer Lopez and Baby Bash ("This Boy's Fire," a dance number where Santana seems incidental), plus a version of "The Game of Love" with Tina Turner (don't worry, the lighter, brighter, superior Michelle Branch version is here too) and plus "Interplanetary Party," which is a new band recording that sounds like a star duet. These are piled upon seven previously released duets including, of course, the hits "Smooth," "Maria Maria," and "The Game of Love," but also album tracks with Everlast, Steven Tyler, and Alex Band of the Calling with classic rock radio staples "Oye Como Va," "Black Magic Woman," "Evil Ways," "Europa," "Samba Pa Ti," and "No One to Depend On" for good measure. In other words, this is certainly not a hits disc for the fan of his earliest music, or his most adventurous music either; it's for the pop fans won over by his latterday comeback, and for those listeners, it's the hits disc they'd want but for everybody else, it's better to seek out other compilations or original albums, because those paint a better picture of what Santana was all about than this crisp, clean collection of lifestyle pop. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: All the Hits in One Package
Cons: None actually
What makes Santana a living legend? Aside from the fact that he ranks among the guitar greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash and much more, Carlos Santana has shown versatility beyond words throughout his illustrious career.
; which earned him a slew of Grammys in February of the following year? Yup, it is that collaboration with Matchbox Twenty frontman, Rob Thomas, that introduced Santana's music to the Generation X and Y. With tracks like "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" featuring The Product G&B, Santana's music became a staple in radio waves. These two tracks and more are featured in this latest compilation album from the guitar god himself. Not to be missed from the tracklisting are the catchy "Oye Como Va" and the mystifying "Black Magic Woman". The 2002 hit single "The Game Of Love" with Michelle Branch also appears in this collection. The same track is given a new interpretation by the iconic Tina Turner. As for the new recordings, Chad Kroeger of Nickelback fame lends his songwriting and vocal talents once more in "Into The Night". Kroeger worked with Santana in 2002 as well in the track "Why Don't You & I?" which was reworked by Alex Band of The Calling. Jennifer Lopez and Baby Bash collaborate with Santana as well in the Latin-inspired "This Boy's Fire".

A native of Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico, Carlos Santana has successfully blended his guitar playing with mainstream pop artists in his past few releases. Remember the 1999 smash album "Supernatural"
The word "ultimate" is an understatement for this collection. As for rock greats, the dictionary ought to contain more synonyms for that. Perhaps, in the near future, Webster would coin Santana as an entry in his dictionary which means "musically iconic in essence". ...
