4 stars If this album was released on CD at a reasonable price (not the absurd, almost $20 you have to pay these days), I would snatch it up in a minute. It contains many of my favorite Beatles songs, scattered throughout the band's original albums. The fact that this album does span the band's less-than 10 year recording career is one of its selling points. I think the inclusion of "I Will", a great song that I didn't even know existed until Alison Krauss' brilliant cover version, alone earns this album an extra star.

We all know the music, so discussing individual songs is mostly unnecessary. I think the deciding factor in rating Love Songs is the choice of songs. I don't own all of The Beatles' original albums, and I wouldn't want to. So, I think this is a great gathering of their songs in one place. The only suggestion (it's not exactly a complaint) I would make for Love Songs is to include more music. "Hey Jude", for instance, would fit here with a lot of breathing room left over.
