Anthology Review

Compiled by her father, Abraham Quintanilla, Anthology is a three-disc/three-cassette box set that provides a comprehensive overview of Selena's tragically brief career. The set is divided into three parts -- a disc of mariachi, a disc of cumbia and a disc of pop recordings, many of which are in English. There are certain hits missing -- there's no "Dreaming of You," oddly enough -- but it's the first compilation to give a good sense of the range of her talents. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
