The Very Best of Dusty Springfield is a compilation album by Dusty Springfield, released by Mercury Records on 21 April 1998.
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic writes, "The result, in terms of song selection, is an excellent 20-song, 57-minute disc that includes most of her best-known material."
His major gripe was the song order as laid out by the producer.
It was not in order of release and mixed up stereo and mono tracks, which he thought was unnecessary and distracting to the listener.
