Critical reception
Christopher Loudon of
JazzTimes stated, "The title begs a rather obvious question: Do these 15 tracks, spanning 10 years and six albums*, truly represent the very best of Diana Krall? The answer is equally obvious: of course not. How could they?... Still, semantics aside, there's no denying this is, particularly for Krall neophytes, a lovely assemblage. And, yes, there's also value for those of us whose libraries already house the entire Krall canon."
[7] Will Layman of
PopMatters mentioned, "Now, we get The Very Best of Diana Krall which is professional, slick-as-a-trick, accomplished and too often dull. But maybe dull is how most people like their jazz."
[6] Matt Collar of
AllMusic wrote, "The Very Best of Diana Krall collects a nice cross-section of tracks the pianist/vocalist recorded beginning with her 1996 breakthrough album,
All for You , and moving through to her 2006 effort
From This Moment On . These are largely urbane and stylish recordings... If you're a fan of straight-ahead jazz with a heavy dash of romance and haven't checked out Krall's work, The Very Best is superb place to start."
[2]
Note: the selections are actually from seven albums as two of the tracks are from the "Live In Paris" album.
