Although the title might be stretching it a bit, Definitive Collection is nevertheless a solid overview of Dionne Warwick's storied career. Its greatest strength is that it encompasses the full breadth of the singer's catalog, assembling material not only from her peak-era Scepter tracks but also from her later hits on Arista. The vintage Burt Bacharach\u002FHal David-composed smashes have lost none of their lustre in the passing years, and many — Walk on By, Do You Know the Way to San Jose, Don't Make Me Over and Anyone Who Had a Heart — are presented here in their definitive readings; Warwick's subsequent recordings can't help but suffer in comparison, although hits like I'll Never Love This Way Again and the Barry Gibb duet Heartbreaker possess a certain charm.
