Retrospective: The Best of Suzanne Vega is a greatest hits album by the American singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega, released in 2003. This album is an updated version of her previous greatest hits album Tried & True: The Best of Suzanne Vega, with few more songs ("Tired of Sleeping", "Calypso", "Solitude Standing", "(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May" and "Woman on the Tier (I'll See You Through)") but without "Book & a Cover". Bonus CD from UK release includes live performance with another not published earlier song, "Anniversary".

Reception
John Murphy from MusicOMH considers this album to have "much more representative track listing" than Tried & True and have a positive view on it: "With material this good it’s hard to level any criticisms at Retrospective." The only problems he sees are "pretentious sleeve notes (...) and the lack of a chronological order", but for him these are just a "minor quibbles".
Gregory McIntosh from AllMusic thinks that "the overall collection feels a little bit more hearty with a total of 21 tracks instead of 17" compared to Tried & True and gave it a 4,5/5 stars.
