The Definitive Collection is a 2000 greatest hits compilation album of 11 Partridge Family and 9 David Cassidy songs. A longer version included four additional David Cassidy tracks.

Critical reception

Lindsay Planer of AllMusic concludes, "While earnest enthusiasts will probably choose to locate the individual reissues, for all non-completists and otherwise average fans, this Definitive Collection lives up to its name."[1]
