Here You Are: The Best of Billy Ocean is a two-disc compilation album by British R&B singer and songwriter Billy Ocean, released in 2016. The first disc includes cover versions of 1950s and 1960s pop and rock songs, and the second disc includes most of Ocean's hit recordings.

Reception

Ian Sime from York's The Press says Ocean's cover of "A Simple Game" is richly infused with Northern Soul angst, calling it "the perfect hit single". However, his interpretations of "A Change Is Gonna Come", "No Woman No Cry" and "Having a Party" have a "distinct air of Cabaret Classic, and the least said about his rendition of "Cry Me a River" the better."

Super Deluxe Edition's Justyn Barnes says that: "Here You Are: The Best of Billy Ocean has a rather cute cover photo of the young Leslie Charles who would grow up to become big Billy O, Grammy-award-winning artist, and the audio content of this double CD released by Sony Music CMG is designed to reflect his – as they say on X Factor – 'journey'."

Background

To promote the album, Billy Ocean toured in 2016.
