Greatest Hits is a greatest hits compilation from American folk musician Tracy Chapman, released by Elektra/Rhino on November 20, 2015. It is the second compilation of her career and the first available in the United States. The collection received positive reviews.

Reception

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, calling it "a nice mix of hits and deep cuts". In American Songwriter, Hal Horowitz awarded the same score, praising her songwriting and performance but noting, "If there is a downside to Chapman’s music, it’s production that is so consistently clean, if not quite slick, most of the edges are sanded off. It makes this collection flow smoothly, perhaps too much so since a rawer approach would help some of the material connect with more immediacy. Still, for those unfamiliar with her career, this is a top notch, well-chosen summation of Chapman’s classy, emotionally moving catalog."^[3] In PopMatters, Chris Gerard's review was seven out of 10 stars, using the opportunity to cover the artist's career and summing up, "This collection is an excellent starting point to discovering that she’s put out a ton of great work."^[4]
