The Best of Helen Reddy is a compilation album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 1991 by EMI[2] and focuses exclusively on her first seven LPs. The 20 songs selected are evenly balanced between chart hits such as "I Am Woman", "Delta Dawn", and "Angie Baby", and lesser-known album tracks, including "Summer of '71" and "Tulsa Turnaround".

Allmusic's Bruce Eder notes that this compilation, "has the virtue of a very low list price (especially as a 20-song disc) and good sound -- plus the presence of one song that Reddy isn't much known for doing, but which she did extremely well, 'How Can I Be Sure,' cut on her (largely ignored) very first LP."[1]
