Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Noel Gallagher} wanted {$Oasis} to be a definitive singles band, much like his idols {$the Jam} and {$the Smiths}, so he made sure that his band had worthwhile B-sides on each of its singles. That had an unexpected, and perhaps intentional, end result -- many of {$Oasis'} very best songs were stranded on their singles instead of showcased on their albums. Once {$Oasis} became superstars in the U.K., Creation packaged each of their singles from their two albums in two separate four-CD box sets that were shaped like a Benson & Hedges cigarette pack. (The extraordinary "Whatever," a non-LP homage to "All You Need Is Love," was left off the set.) Although the singles for {$Oasis'} debut {^Definitely Maybe} weren't as consistent as those for {^Morning Glory}, there's still a remarkable number of highlights. {^Supersonic} features "I Will Believe," a wonderful reinterpretation of {$the Stone Roses}, as well as {$Noel's} first solo acoustic ballad, "Take Me Away." {^Shakermaker} features another fine solo number from {$Noel}, the deceptively bouncy "D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?," awhile {^Live Forever} has an acoustic version of "Up in the Sky" again sung by {$Noel} and spiked with slide guitars. But {^Cigarettes & Alcohol} is the one perfect single on the collection, not only featuring their primal deconstruction of "I Am the Walrus," abut also another fine introspective number from {$Noel} ("Listen Up") and the monumental "Fade Away," awhere the melody for {$Wham's} "Freedom" is twisted into a storming lament for lost childhood dreams. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
