Critiques / Reviews :
- "When Robert Palmer dropped out of pop culture’s radar, it was easy to remember his three big, slick, and somewhat disposable mainstream rock hits and think he was just an ’80s music industry product, merely a suave version of Bryan Adams. But to do so would be to forget that Robert Palmer was really a charismatic lounge lizard, an egocentric, sharp-dressed ladies man. At his prime, he was the man. Hip-O does a great service to Palmer’s career with 'The Best Of Both Worlds: The Robert Palmer Anthology', an appropriately-named two disc retrospective that covers both his slick ’80s arena rock and the other, more diverse phases of his career — like when he was trying out authentic reggae, funk, new wave, and even Rat Pack standards on for size. (...) 'Best Of Both Worlds' isn’t likely to spawn a wide re-estimation of Robert Palmer’s lengthy, diverse career, but like most good extensive hits compilations, it manages to cherry-pick some of the greatest moments from his career and proves, at the very least, that he wasn’t the one-sided pop star that his best-remembered hits suggest."
