The collection was also released as a DVD with 14 music videos, live and remix album.
Although it has been reported prior to the publication that Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range would re-record the vocal tracks by Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy, all original versions of the songs were used. Despite the title, The Singles Collection, the collection does not contain all 18 singles that were released in the run-up to Easy. Instead, only 14 of the singles found on the CD again.
Criticism
The first greatest hits compilation of the Sugababes has been well received:
" The trio convinced from the beginning with cleverly arranged pop songs that never sounded stale and regularly deposed with innovative and modern elements of the competition. The songs have even a shot Soul ( Stronger ) or a light R & B paint ( Caught in a moment and Good to Be Gone, the better of the two new songs on Overloaded ) and are always trimmed for maximum catchiness without being arbitrary ( Ugly, push the Button ). Thus, Keisha, Heidi and Amelle meet all claims that you can put on today's pop music and can now imagine the vacuum left by the Sugababes when they should step down from the stage again. "
