The Best of Eva Cassidy is a compilation album by American singer Eva Cassidy, released in 2012 sixteen years after her death in 1996. The album has charted in Austria, The Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Steve Leggett of Allmusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 saying, “(Cassidy) was a masterful song interpreter, able to take on almost any song in any style or genre and spin her voice around it, giving it a kind of haunting and sincere freshness. This set makes a great introduction to Cassidy's style and substance “.

Simon Gage of Express gave the album 4 out of 5 saying, “Cassidy's voice is honestly nothing extraordinary but somehow touching and lovely” concluding with “Simple and beautiful.”

Lebohang Nthongoa of Times Live gave the album 9 out of 10 saying, “This album is all about beautiful music and pure singing talent, with no frills, bells or whistles! I find very little fault in this album: from the choice of songs to the way they are covered makes for a great album.”
