Análisis (en inglés) - AMG :
Although Yazoo split in 1984, it wasn't until 15 years later that a substantial compilation album appeared. Only Yazoo: The Best Of represents some of the best synth pop ever committed to record, and provides a fine display of the range and power of Alison Moyet's incredible voice. All of the singles are present (with the exception of "The Other Side of Love"), as well as a handful of quality album tracks. Thankfully, the Francois Kevorkian mix of "Situation" is included, as well as three "1999" mixes. These modern mixes don't reach the same heights as the originals, and the Todd Terry remix of "Don't Go" almost manages to ruin a beautiful song. However, for the most part, Only Yazoo is close to perfect. Tracks like "Nobody's Diary" remain landmarks of pop songwriting, although the sparse arrangements sometimes sound dated. Even so, it's a great album, and a fine overview of Yazoo's brief career. ~ Jim Harper, All Music GuideAnálisis (en inglés) - :
{$Vince Clarke} can claim involvement in two stunning debuts in only two years: {$Depeche Mode}'s {^Speak & Spell} and {$Yaz}'s {^Upstairs at Eric's}. While {^Speak & Spell} is, by far, the more consistent record, {^Upstairs at Eric's} is wholly more satisfying, beating the {$Depeche} record on substance and ambition, and is light years ahead in emotion. {&"Don't Go"} and {&"Situation"} are absolutely killer with {$Clarke}'s bubbling synth and singer {$Alison Moyet}'s bluesy and powerful delivery. They're both rightful dancefloor staples, and have since undergone numerous remixes, both official and bootleg. {&"Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)"} is just as good a thumper, adding a wonderful mumbled bridge that shows how much {$Clarke} enjoyed messing with {\pop} music. The softer {&"Only You"} would have sounded silly and robotic if it had appeared on {^Speak & Spell}, but {$Moyet}'s vocals makes it bittersweet and engaging. The clumsier {\experimental} tracks make most people head for the hits collection, but to do so would be to miss the album's great twist. The loony tape loop of {&"I Before E Except After C,"} the skeletal {&"Winter Kills,"} and a disruptive phone call in the middle of the naïve {&"Bad Connection"} offer up more complex and intimate moments. Like its curious cover, {^Upstairs at Eric's} presents a fractured, well-lit, and paranoid urban landscape. [The 1993 Japanese {@Mute} reissue contains bonus tracks.] ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
