"First I'm writing this review on behalf of my brother who is a huge Hall and Oates fan, he explained why he just give 3 stars to this collection :
When I first heard of this 3CD set of Hall and Oates LEGENDARY, I was very excited. It was high time someone should pay tribute to them.HOWEVER, I was bit disappointed when I have listened to it. The SOUND QUALITY of the songs were UNEVEN. Especially the older tracks in dics One. The live track in disc three (The Way You Do the Things You Do) seem to come out from a bootleg recording. Moreover, two songs were missing in this set, that is SHE'S GONE and MISSED OPPORTUNITY. The packaging was rather poor. The CDS were placed in an OLD style twin CD plastic box and there was no detailed booklet of the artist's history and discography, only a rectangluar piece of paper folded into three sides and briefly describing about these guys. On the whole, the songs are as always evergreen as ever, but really can do better on sound quality and packaging, and this is a really a MISSED OPPORTUNITY for not doing so."

"This 3 cd set has 50 songs in total, tho the sound quality could be better, I liked the wide range of songs, some I wasn't even aware that Hall & Oates had done. "Wait For Me", "Everytime You Go Away", "Did It In a Minute", "One On One", "Open All Night", "Say It Isn't So", "Going Through The Motions", "Out Of Touch", "Don't Hold Back Your Love", are some of the songs I particularly enjoyed. Nice overview of their career from 1976-1990."
