On November 6, 2001, Universal released a greatest hits album titled Together, which contains Tsai's 16 songs and 14 music videos released during the Universal era and one behind-the-scenes documentary film about Lucky Number (2001). [1]

Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "Jolin Tsai's first greatest hits album, the 16 songs almost represented her important works during the Universal period. And this greatest hits album was released during the contractual dispute between Jolin Tsai and her former management company. In addition, the 14 music videos that came with it were quite attractive at the time." [6]
