By the time this was released in 1994, something unexpected happened. Sade's early work became classic and the later additions boasted even better vocals and songs that nicely improved on the theme. The timeless sound and class always exhibited makes Sade Adu and her band a no-brainer for an appealing compilation. Like Al Green's Greatest Hits, The Best of Sade doesn't detract from the original albums and is a marker of time, not the end of the act. The ice-princess demeanor and detached vocals worked perfectly for the mid-'80s singles and radio samples 'Smooth Operator' and 'Your Love Is King.' The tracks from the make-or-break second album, Promise, seem less dolorous propped up and sequenced for a compilation. The sensual-to-a-fault 'The Sweetest Taboo' and 'Never As Good As the First Time' both retain their strength here. The songs from Stronger Than Pride -- 'Love Is Stronger Than Pride,' 'Nothing Can Come Between Us,' and the great 'Paradise' -- all benefit from Ian Cooper's mastering job. This set also includes tracks from Sade's 'comeback' CD, Love Deluxe, including 'Kiss of Life' and 'No Ordinary Love.' As a bonus, The Best of Sade also includes a rare cover of 'Please Send Me Someone to Love' from the Philadelphia soundtrack. Despite its riches, The Best of Sade doesn't include all of the best, since 'Maureen' and or 'Keep Looking' aren't here. It's a small complaint and The Best of Sade is a great overview.

It's a small complaint and The Best of Sade is a great overview.'[1]Robert Christgau called the album 'another loungecore alternative'.[3] Saif Alavi of Medium.com in his review of the album mentioned 'Sade’s voice is still ingrained in American culture to this day. Her music has been on the back of the minds of Americans since the early 1980’s. Her music has been an element of sampling throughout Hip-Hop’s evolution. Her music has the right amount of melancholy and sweetness for flipping potential.'[5]
