Retrospective is a compilation of the Indigo Girls (Emily Saliers & Amy Ray) work from 1987 to 1999.
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic writes, "It remains possible that the Indigo Girls will continue to score good, consistent sales, and the two new songs suggest that there's still creative fuel for this group to burn. But if they have crested, Retrospective confirms their status as one of the most accomplished recording units of their time." [1]
Michael Hubbard of musicOMH writes, "Retrospective is an album which brings together many great moments from their years of non-hits". [2]
