Background
On 10 January 2018, CEO of Sony Music Australia Denis Handlin confirmed that a concept album was due to be released by Jade later in 2018.[3]
In a press release on 22 February 2018, Jade announced the release of the album and stated that “Best of My Love" was such a fun record to make. I hope it reignites the passion of all disco lovers and helps tell the story of this exciting genre to a whole new audience that may not have experienced the lifestyle first-hand. It’s such an honor to pay tribute to some of the most iconic divas, such as

David from auspOp said, "On first listen, the album doesn’t throw in any surprises and comes across quite flat", adding that "on the majority of songs, things feel polished but a bit too mellow. That being said, when Samantha connects to a song and is given the ability to let loose, she hits a home run." David named "I Feel Love", "Hot Stuff" and original tracks "Roller Skates" and "Let Me Love You" as the best tracks on the album.[6] Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine said, "The tracklist doesn't take too many chances... but Jade's voice – breezy and bright – is perfectly suited to the euphoric and exuberant sound. The album concludes with a couple of impressive originals."[8] Haydon Benfield from Renowned for Sound said, "Over its fourteen tracks and forty-seven minutes, Best of My Love fails to do anything exciting and a bit more of an adventurous streak would have served Jade well."[7]
