Harriet finally has confidence that she can change the past, but she also realizes she loves David and they would never have met if Max hadn't died.

So many songs and so much music just transports me back to the past and sort of helps remind me to live my life too, so I wanted to write a movie about that."

The two novels led him to develop the genesis and story idea for the film, which he attributed to his emotional susceptibility to music that served as the time travel mechanism for his life.

[5] While the initial draft had specific needle drops tied to his musical selections, he wanted the story to come to life with the cast.

The website's consensus reads: "The Greatest Hits is built around a genuinely interesting idea, but it's lost in a shallow treatment that's too often content to rely on sentimentality.

[16] Valerie Complex of Deadline Hollywood wrote "The film’s exploration of music’s role in our emotional lives and history is a moving portrayal that offers audiences a reflective journey through the intricacies of love, loss and, ultimately, hope.

Still, such a premise lives or dies by its execution, and apart from the pretty pixie flares that swarm the screen each time Harriet is about to sonic-zoom, The Greatest Hits feels like the remainder-bin version of better love stories.

"[20] Alissa Wilkinson of The New York Times praised the performances and music choices but felt that the film lacks the "imagination of [The Disappearance of] Eleanor Rigby" and the "lightness and humor of a rom-com, which might balance out all the dreary moments and make it feel more watchable.

"[21] Caryn James of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "The Greatest Hits is the kind of film that should sweep you away with its charm and emotion.

"[24] Ty Burr of The Washington Post assigned one-and-a-half out of five stars saying "A time-travel romance falls victim to generic characters and clunky dialogue".

[26] Ross Bonaime of Collider rated two stars out of five and wrote "with The Greatest Hits, Benson gives us the film equivalent of an album with a cool cover that masks the inadequate record within".

[27] Chase Hutchinson of TheWrap wrote "The Greatest Hits is a fitting title as there are plenty of familiar beats that may ensure it achieves broad popularity, but it never finds anything remotely close to genuine emotional potency [...] Like a superficial pop radio hit that gets played over and over, the only grace it finds is the potential that it will fade from your memory as soon as you finish watching it.

"[28] Marjorie Baumgarteon of The Austin Chronicle wrote "with a narrative premise that requires the suspension of disbelief, The Greatest Hits stands on less sturdy ground, even though it is irrepressibly romantic.
