Análisis (en inglés) - :
Now that {^Waiting for the Sirens' Call} has been officially declared part of {$New Order}'s history, only eight months after release, it's time once again to reassess the group in the form of a mostly redundant compilation. {@Rhino} calls {^Singles} the group's "first ever career-spanning two-disc retrospective," but it's more like the group's first compilation to contain tracks from {^Sirens' Call}. Besides, 1987's {^Substance} spanned the group's career upon release and remains the basis for most {$New Order} compilations (this one included), so it's no big deal. Just as importantly, over a third of the contents date from 1993 onward; that's too high a percentage to make the set an ideal introduction. Considering its title, {^Singles} has a clear-cut purpose, unlike 2002's {^International}. Then again, each of the 14 tracks contained on {^International} are also here -- what amounts to an inferior version of {^Substance} with some crucial tracks squeezed out in favor of lesser, later singles. A proper sequel to {^Substance}, covering {^Technique} through {^Sirens' Call}, would've made more sense, but the lure in dressing up a combination of oft-recycled classics with slightly varying surroundings has yet to lose its appeal. {^Substance} remains, and will likely always remain, the release to get you started. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
