[[Allmusic]] reviewer [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] gave the album four and a half out of five stars. He said that the album "does an expert job not only of capturing the moment when Pearl Jam were monstrously popular, but proving that they still turned out good music even when they were fading from the spotlight.

rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991–2003 is a two-disc compilation album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on November 16, 2004 through Epic Records. The album has been certified Platinum in the United States.

Overview

The compilation debuted at number sixteen on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 96,000 copies in its first week of release. The album has achieved Platinum status.[1]

The tracks "Once", "Alive," and "Black" have been remixed by Brendan O'Brien. The album features the same alternate mix of the track "State of Love and Trust" that is actually featured briefly in the movie Singles, but differs from the soundtrack version.[citation needed] The album also includes non-album versions of many other tracks. Pearl Jam's version of the Victoria Williams song "Crazy Mary" was supposed to appear on Disc 2,[2] but was replaced with "Man of the Hour" before release. This release marked the end of Pearl Jam's contractual agreement with Epic Records.[3]

Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four and a half out of five stars. He said that the album "does an expert job not only of capturing the moment when Pearl Jam were monstrously popular, but proving that they still turned out good music even when they were fading from the spotlight. Unlike most career-spanning, multi-disc retrospectives, Rearviewmirror does not emphasize latter-day albums in order to achieve a sense of balance that's inherently phony."[4] Rolling Stone reviewer Christian Hoard gave the album four out of five stars. He said, "Pearl Jam have spent much of this decade courting devotees with a series of live bootlegs, so Rearviewmirror is a welcome concession to casual fans, rounding out the hits with concert staples and non-album cuts. The rockers on the "Up Side" disc sum up the band's continually evolving relationship with effects pedals and emotional catharsis; the slower "Down Side" disc offers gold sounds that are long on big choruses and well-worn sincerity."[5]
