Alison Bellach from The Daily Vault gave the album an A− and wrote that "the collection is amazing" and that she was "pleased to note that the album included "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a duet with Elton John recorded for the Duets album", but she complained about "the version of "I Want Your Sex" that was chosen" because according to her "the original was something I could laugh at or snicker about" and the chosen version "doesn't even afford the listener a standard melody. The week following Michael's death, the album had a 5,625% surge in sales and streams and re-entered the UK Albums Chart at No.

This thorough, 28-song retrospective features most of his chart-topping singles, including the sax-driven ballad "Careless Whisper" and bachelorette party standard "Faith. I Want Your Sex" is presented as "Part II – Brass in Love" only, without the more widely publicized "Part I – Lust" section and " Monkey", which was included on the US and Japanese editions, is presented as the single version remixed by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in the US edition. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.Included is George's first solo outing, 'Careless Whisper', alongside material from his 'Faith', 'Listen without Prejudice' and 'Older' albums. Ladies And Gentlemen charts this journey, from his duets with pop elite such as Aretha Franklin ("I Knew You Waiting (For Me)") and Elton John ("Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"), to dance floor classics such as "Too Funky" and "Fastlove" and bleak, evocative numbers such as "Jesus To A Child" and "A Different Corner". Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five and wrote that while "listening to both discs in a row is a little exhausting" the album "comes close to being definitive. The first CD, titled "For the Heart", predominantly contains Michael's hit ballads, while the second CD, "For the Feet", comprises mostly his popular dance tunes.

The collection of 29 songs (28 on the North American release) is separated into two-halves, with each CD of the double set containing music of a particular theme and mood. The purpose of collecting these files is to perform analysis that will contribute to the software development. in 1986, George Michael has constantly had to reinvent himself as a credible master of various musical styles.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The compilation also includes three tracks specially recorded for the album, most notably his duet with Mary J Blige on the Stevie Wonder classic "As". The song was a humorous look at his arrest shortly before the release of the album for soliciting a policeman in a public restroom.

It is a departure from George's previous style, so be prepared for a slightly dark and melancholy feel to this album, as it is a tribute to his lover who sadly died too young.to his later solo work, George Michael was one of the biggest-selling pop superstars of the 1980s, on par with Madonna and Michael Jackson. Genuine confusion as most artists have their greatest hits issued on vinyl nowadays and yet George's is only available for streaming and CD. There were rumours that Blige's label was uncomfortable with Michael being gay, but this is contradicted by Blige's embracing of her large gay fan base.
