Background and release
Just for the Record... was released on September 24, 1991, by Columbia Records. It includes four discs, with each disc focusing on a different decade ("The 60s Part I", "The 60s Part II", "The 70s", and "The 80s"). It was initially priced at $79.98 USD and by 1994 was the second best-selling box set collection in the United States (behind only Led Zeppelin's 1990 self-titled box set) with approximately 404,000 copies sold.{{cite magazine|last1=Bronson|first1=Fred|title=Box Score: Top 50 Boxed-Set Reissues|magazine=Billboard|date=April 23, 1994|volume=106|issue=17|page=58|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RQgEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA58|access-date=August 28, 2017|issn=0006-2510}} Serving as a retrospective of Streisand's three decade-spanning career, it features several songs from her catalogue in addition to previously unreleased tracks. Her first studio-recorded track ever, a cover of Mack Gordon and Harry Warren's "You'll Never Know" (1943), was featured as the album's opener track and was recorded in 1955.{{harvnb|Waldman|2001|p=74}} Howard Reich from PopMatters claimed that Streisand's cover proved that she already had had plenty of talent to become a recording artist, despite her young age.{{cite news|last1=Reich|first1=Howard|title=Barbra Streisand takes time out from a rare tour to give a rarer interview|url=http://www.popmatters.com/article/barbra-streisand-takes-time-out-from-a-rare-tour-to-give-a-rarer-interview/|access-date=August 27, 2017|work=PopMatters|date=November 14, 2006|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829081427/http://www.popmatters.com/article/barbra-streisand-takes-time-out-from-a-rare-tour-to-give-a-rarer-interview/|archive-date=August 29, 2017}} In addition to the four discs of material, Just for the Record... includes a 92-page color booklet featuring a variety of photos and artwork created throughout her career.

Just for the Record... received high ratings and praise from music critics. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic enjoyed the unique nature of the record and commented that because "she had complete creative control over th[e] retrospective", she was able to release a box set consisting of nearly only "rare [and] previously unreleased material". He also labelled the duets with Garland and "Las Vegas Medley" as some of the album's best tracks. In the publication's review of Highlights from Just for the Record, Ruhlmann was equally appreciative and noted that it serves as a "fine overview of Bab's career" and provides for a "great listening". Describing the large size of the collection, Entertainment Weekly{{'}}s David Browne compared it to the two installments of Use Your Illusion (volumes I and II) by Guns N' Roses and claimed that it "is impossible to digest in one sitting". Browne ultimately awarded the collection a grade of A− and called it a good representation of the singer's ability to "chang[e the] definition of pop" and "make mainstream adult pop that was strong, elegant, [and] even passionate". Joe Brown from The Washington Post was more mixed towards the effort: "All four discs are dotted with oddities that even the most devoted Barbraphiles will program their CD players to skip after the first listen or two"; however, Brown appreciated some of the rarities on the album, including her duets with Garland and her melody of "My Man" and "Auld Lang Syne".{{cite news|last1=Brown|first1=Joe|title=Pop Recordings; Barbra Streisand's Big Box of Gems and Ego|url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/307445247|access-date=August 28, 2017|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=October 6, 1991|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829080144/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/doc/307445247.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS%3AFT&date=Oct+6%2C+1991&author=Brown%2C+Joe&pub=The+Washington+Post+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&edition=&startpage=g.05&desc=POP+RECORDINGS%3B+Barbra+Streisand%27s+Big+Box+of+Gems+and+Ego|archive-date=August 29, 2017}}
