Reception[edit]
James Christopher Monger of Allmusic states "Universal/Mercury's Working Hour: An Introduction to Tears for Fears collects 15 tracks from the mercurial English pop group, culled from all of their albums up to 1994's Elemental. While there are a number of radio hits here ("Pale Shelter," "Shout," "Head Over Heels," "Sowing the Seeds of Love") the omission of key tracks like "Mad World" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" keeps the collection relegated to the shadows behind far better overviews like Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears and 2006's Gold."[2]
