  ## Background
  
  Tyler had a photoshoot directed by Paul Cox, who was photographer for her 1995 album Free Spirit.
  
     "That was the last shot of the day. The record company wanted a picture of me lying on the floor with my hair all over the place. I don't think the photographer thought it was a very good idea, or myself, until the last roll of the day. We did this shot, and I laid on the floor on top of this satin sheet, and then he got on a ladder and just took the pictures... ...Ends up on the front cover."
  
  The album includes one of Tyler's latest recordings from the time of release, "Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts". The song was written by Jim Steinman and Andrew Lloyd Webber and originally recorded for the concept album for the 1996 musical Whistle Down the Wind. Tyler performed the song live at Webber's 50th birthday celebration at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 1998.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  Greatest Hits was given three and a half stars out of five from AllMusic. They stated that, "As long as it has "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "It's a Heartache", "Faster Than the Speed of Night" and "Holding Out for a Hero" on it, any Bonnie Tyler compilation is going to earn a few stars, and this collection from Sanctuary is no exception."
