Priceless Jazz Collection is a budget-priced compilation that intends to give neophytes an affordable introduction to Billie Holiday's Decca recordings. Although purists and collectors will find this sampler incomplete and inconsequential, it nevertheless gives new listeners a good idea of Holiday's Decca sessions by featuring such classics as "Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be?)," "My Man (Mon Homme)," "Crazy He Calls Me," "Good Morning Heartache" and "God Bless the Child." ~ Leo Stanley, All Music Guide
