The Very Best of The Doobie Brothers is a two-disc greatest hits album by The Doobie Brothers released on March 13, 2007.
Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album 4.5/5 stars, writing:
...for the average listener, this may be just a little too generous at 33 tracks. That's a long running time, providing room for all the hits plus a bunch of album tracks that weren't necessarily on album rock radio, so this may be too much for listeners who just want the hits; they should stick to that 2001 Greatest Hits. But for fans who want a lot of the Doobies' best without investing in either the original albums or the box, this Very Best is welcome. [1]
