A Decade of Steely Dan was one of the first compilations designed for CD, so it was intended to showcase digital sound as much as the music itself. Consequently, it's balanced to showcase at least one song from each of the band's albums, leaving such minor hits as "Pretzel Logic," "The Fez" and "Josie" off the compilation. Nevertheless, the songs here — including "Do It Again, " "Reeling in the Years, " "My Old School, " "Rikki Don't Lose That Number, " "My Old School, " "Kid Charlemagne, " "Peg, " "Deacon Blues, " "Hey Nineteen" and the non-LP "FM (No Static At All)" — provide a good overview of Steely Dan's career, making the disc a fine introduction to the innovative jazz-rock group.
