The album includes two new recordings: a rerecording of "I Don't Want to Live Without You", and the new song "Give My Life for Love".

The compilation consists of some of Foreigner's biggest hits and popular album tracks from 1977 through the 2016 EP "The Flame Still Burns".

[4] David Chiu from Popmatters said, "This year is the 40th anniversary of the release of Foreigner's self-titled debut, and marking that milestone is this latest two-CD greatest hits compilation, simply called 40, which collects 40 (get it?)

There have been similar Foreigner double-disc packages (Jukebox Heroes and No End in Sight), but 40 is the most current by including tracks from 2009's Can't Slow Down and the group's recent single 'The Flame Still Burns'.

"[5] Neil Jeffries from LouderSound said, "This new collection is a career-spanning two-CD set that features 40 remastered tracks from 40 years.
