It's Good, But......

This is not a bad collection by the Manhattans, but just like other best of's, this is just not deep enough. I mean there is only one reissue album by them (the self titled album), and I think that is a shame. They had plenty more grooves than what this collection offers. It's not bad though if you're not into the albums like me. Worth the downloads.

They Say All Music Guide

The Best of the Manhattans: Kiss and Say Goodbye is a terrific, 19-song overview of the Manhattans’ recordings for Columbia in the ’70s. All but two of the group’s Top Ten R&B hits for the label are featured — there’s no “We Never Danced to a Love Song” or “Crazy,” but “There’s No Me Without You,” “Don’t Take Your Love,” “Hurt,” “Kiss and Say Goodbye,” “I Kinda Miss You,” “It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad,” “Am I Losing You,” and “Shining Star” are all present — and several fine lesser-known singles and album tracks are added for good measure. Although the collection might be a bit too extensive for casual fans, it’s the definitive overview of the Manhattans’ time as a smooth soul group, illustrating how they helped develop the quiet storm subgenre. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
