fantastic - By: Helena O'Neill, 07 May 2004 
Any carpenter fans will know what I am writing about, the title says it all. Fantastic, Karen is at her best, watch it & see. A classic!
A Beautiful Compilation! - By: Martin A Hogan, 16 Dec 2002 The public tends to forget the impact that the Carpenters hadin the 1970's - selling over 100 million records. This set contains wonderfully remastered hits with the videos that accompanied them. Mind you, this was before songs were made into videos & the outfits were frightening (but then again, what were we wearing back then)? You can blame the A&M executives for the wholesome appearance of the duo. They thankfully were other than they appeared.
The music is the main focus here & the videos are merely the means to show them. Sure, Karen's apparent health varies from song to song, but the voice is always strong.
"The Carpenters: Close To You" makes a great video companion piece & sheds an enormous amount of light on who the Carpenters really were. However, if you just want the music, stick with this video. It's full of memories & great songs!
