Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's 28th album, and fourth greatest-hits album, released in 2004. The album compiles 19 of Simon's top hits, ranging from her 1971 self-titled debut album Carly Simon, through 1994's Letters Never Sent, presented in chronological order.

An International version of the album was released later that same year, mainly for the UK market. It consisted of a different mix of songs, and included the 1982 single, "Why" from the Soup For One soundtrack, a top 10 hit in the UK. Unlike the US release, the International version does not run in chronological order.
Reception and chart success
Reflections was praised as a satisfying overview of Simon's extensive catalog, with AllMusic awarding the album a 4 1/2 out of 5 star rating. Upon release, Reflections was a huge success, peaking at No. 22 on the Billboard 200, and remaining on the chart for 19 weeks. On March 2, 2007, Reflections was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States alone. The international version of the album was also very successful, peaking at No. 25 in the UK, and going Gold there as well.
