Fit to Be Tied was intended to be the definitive Joan Jett hits package, and it nearly succeeds. Since Jett's Blackheart label only secured the rights to her first four solo albums (her most consistent work), the singles from the uneven Up Your Alley -- "I Hate Myself for Loving You" (one of Jett's best originals and biggest hits) and "Little Liar" -- had to be presented here in alternate versions. While the re-recording of "Hate Myself" and the live version of "Little Liar" are executed faithfully, they may bother fans who want the original recordings. Although some Jett devotees may find a personal favorite or two missing, Fit to Be Tied otherwise gathers most of the best material from Jett's first four albums and the soundtrack single "Light of Day," padding it with a few new and largely unnecessary tracks ("World of Denial," a cover of Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner"). Despite its minor flaws, Fit to Be Tied still does a good job of summing up why Jett was one of the best female rockers of the '80s and an inspiration to many '90s bands; it's all the Joan Jett casual fans will need. --- Steve Huey, allmusic.com

While it includes a healthy share of rarities, nothing on Joan Jett's career overview, Flashback, is second-rate. Even though she vascillated between punky hard rock and smoothed-out arena-rock for much of the '80s, the disc accentuates her rebellious nature, making Flashback an effective introduction to her career. Besides, it rocks like hell. --- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com

U.S. vinyl LP pressing of the 1981 sophomore album from the former Runaways member and Rock 'N' Roll icon. Joan Jett has been a force in Pop Culture since she was 15 years old. She is an originator, an innovator, a leader and a visionary. Not only is she an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist with eight platinum and gold albums and nine top 40 singles, she also has her own independent label, Blackheart Records. 12 tracks including 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll', 'Crimson & Clover', 'Nag' and many more. ---Editorial Reviews, amazon.com

I Love Rock-n-Roll, Joan Jett's first record with the Blackhearts, was a tougher, louder album than Bad Reputation, primarily because her new backing band gave her a more coherent sound. That dynamic, hard rock crunch is what made the title track into an international hit, but it also gives the album dimension -- not only can Jett & the Blackhearts tear up heavy glam rockers, but they also pull off the mock psychedelia of Tommy James & the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover" with aplomb. On the whole, I Love Rock-n-Roll doesn't have as many strong songs as its predecessor, but the band's muscular, gritty sound makes the album just as good as Bad Reputation. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Review

Album is arguably Joan Jett's strongest non-compilation release, featuring a consistent, freewheelingly wide range of material (which the Blackhearts really tear into) and punchier, more detailed production. Once again, Jett delivers strong, enthusiastic performances, but this time, the quality of the material lends her equal support. The singles "Fake Friends" and "Everyday People" (the Sly & the Family Stone song) scraped the bottom of the Top 40 charts; other highlights include Jett's original "French Song," which details a ménage à trois. --- Steve Huey, allmusic.com
