The 18-song set brings together many of his best-known ballads from throughout his career, such as the Grammy-winning ‘Just the Way You Are,’ ‘Honesty’ and ‘Shameless,’ which was a No. 1 country hit for Garth Brooks in 1991. But the CD also contains some of his deeper cuts, like ‘Temptation,’ ‘This Night,’ and ‘Until the Night,’ the sweeping homage to the Righteous Brothers from 1978′s ’52nd Street. Of particular interest is the inclusion of ‘Nocturne,’ the instrumental from his rarely heard first album, 1971′s ‘Cold Spring Harbor.’ The title track of this compilation, ‘She’s Got a Way,” was originally released on ‘Cold Spring Harbor,’ but the version included here is the hit take from ‘Songs in the Attic,’ his 1981 collection of live cuts from songs that were originally released on his first three albums.


As one of the biggest-selling artists of all time, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Billy Joel was subjected to a romantically themed collection, and so came She's Got a Way: Love Songs, released just in time for Valentine's Day 2013. This 18-track collection reveals an odd truth about Joel: he didn't write all that many love songs. A few of his biggest hits are love songs but only a few: the early song "She's Got a Way," which wasn't a hit until its Songs in the Attic incarnation in the early '80s; "Just the Way You Are," an unabashedly romantic soft rock staple that helped make him a star in the mid-'70s; "This Is the Time," a gently nostalgic song from The Bridge; "The Night Is Still Young," an added cut to 1986's Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 & 2. And that's about it. Other hits here aren't really love songs – "She's Always a Woman" is too nasty to be romantic ("she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleedin'"), "Honesty" isn't about love, nor is "An Innocent Man" – and that's why this compilation relies so heavily on album tracks, usually from early Billy Joel albums. That is where Joel wrote about love, when he had a "Travelin' Prayer" and declared to his lover "You're My Home." He had other love songs later, including "Shameless," which Garth Brooks turned into a standard, but the overall impression left by She's Got a Way is that love songs are not Billy's forte. Which isn't to say this isn't an enjoyable collection: there are many good songs here – all the aforementioned tunes, along with "Until the Night" – and it's a good collection of Joel's moodier, slower, melodic numbers. It just doesn't quite deliver on the romance it promises. Reviewed by Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic
