Video Anthology is the fourth

manager Mathew Knowles also serving as executive producers. To promote the album, Destiny's Child collaborated with several publications which offered copies to their readers through their websites. The album was first released on May 31, 2013 through Columbia Records. Upon its release, it received positive reviews from music critics who praised the visuals included complete with the accompanying choreography.[1][2]
However, one writer felt the album was incomplete and argued that many videos were omitted from the track listing.

Background and release

manager Mathew Knowles serving as executive producers.[4] All the featured videos are presented in an aspect ratio – 1.33:1.[3]

The cover artwork used for the release of the DVD is taken from the music video of "Cater 2 U" (2005) directed by Jake Nava and it features the members of Destiny's Child dressed in long form-fitting blue fishtail evening dresses;[5] it was shot at Red Rock Canyon State Park in California by photographer Daniel Moss.[4] For the release, Destiny's Child partnered with the website TheDrop.fm on May 21, 2013 which offered a prize pack to its readers featuring the album, two T-shirts and the group's tourbook.[6] Jet magazine also organized a contest on its official website offering to give away five copies of the DVD.[7] A similar contest was organized on Juicy magazine's official website, offering five copies from the album to five of its readers.[8] To further promote the album, the group was featured on the R&B division of the Vevo channel at YouTube on June 4, 2013. Video Anthology was first released in the UK and Germany on May 31, 2013. It was later released in the US on June 4 and on the country's iTunes Store two days later, while the following day it was released in Australia.[9] In Japan, Video Anthology was released on June 26, 2013.[10]

Reception

Gregory Heaney from the website

The Morton Report writer Chaz Lipp who felt that the album was incomplete and noted that eight other videos from the group's videography were not released.[nb 2] He remarked that the unreleased videos for the songs, most notably the ones from the holiday album 8 Days of Christmas could have been included as bonus selections. Lipp concluded that Video Anthology "hits its peak with the group's best single, the irresistibly funky 'Bootylicious'".[3]
