Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection

Near the end of April 2019, Minogue hinted at a greatest hits release by sharing content from her music video for "Step Back in Time" on social media.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/kylie-minogue-is-announcing-something-new-next-week|title=Kylie Minogue is announcing something new next week|last=Kenneally|first=Cerys|date=26 April 2019|website=The Line of Best Fit|access-date=5 May 2019}} In addition, a countdown was added to her official website, which was set to end on May 3, but finished a day earlier.{{cite web|url=https://www.kylie.com/|title=Kylie|publisher=Kylie.com|accessdate=29 January 2024|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501142332/https://www.kylie.com/|archivedate=1 May 2019}} Following the countdown, the website displayed the album's slogan: "Pop Precision Since 1987". She announced the album, Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection, on her website, with pre-orders available the same day.{{cite web|url=https://www.kylie.com/|title=Kylie|publisher=Kylie.com|accessdate=29 January 2024|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190502080615/https://www.kylie.com/|archivedate=2 May 2019}}{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kylie-minogue-announces-greatest-hits-album-step-back-in-time-the-definitive-collection__26213/|title=Kylie Minogue announces greatest hits album Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection|publisher=Official Charts Company|date=2 May 2019|accessdate=29 January 2024}}

The album was planned to coincide with Minogue's 30th career anniversary, as well as her appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Brighton Pride, and other summer festivals that year.{{cite web|first=Ian|last=Wade|url=https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/step-back-in-time-with-kylie-again/|title=Step Back In Time with Kylie. Again.|publisher=Super Deluxe Edition|date=3 May 2019|accessdate=29 January 2024}} It is Minogue's fifth greatest hits collection, after Greatest Hits (1992), Hits + (2000), Ultimate Kylie (2004), and The Best of Kylie Minogue (2012).{{efn|{{cite AV media notes|title=Greatest Hits|author=Kylie Minogue|year=1992|type=liner notes|publisher=PWL|id=4509907261}}{{cite AV media notes|title=Hits+|author=Kylie Minogue|year=2000|type=liner notes|publisher=Deconstruction Records|id=47432178534}}{{cite AV media notes|title=Ultimate Kylie|author=Kylie Minogue|year=2004|type=liner notes|publisher=Parlophone|id=8753652}}{{cite AV media notes|title=The Best of Kylie Minogue|author=Kylie Minogue|year=2012|type=liner notes|publisher=Warner Music Group|id=9996357792}}}} Its title originates from her 1990 single of the same name, and it is her first compilation release with BMG Rights Management.

The album's original content consists of forty-two songs chosen from Minogue's singing career beginning in 1987; all tracks are arranged in an unchronological order. The first disc includes an unreleased track titled "New York City", which was recorded during the sessions for Minogue's fourteenth studio album Golden (2018).{{cite AV media notes|title=Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection|author=Kylie Minogue|year=2019|type=liner notes|publisher=BMG Rights Management|id=BMGCAT385DCD}} The song "Breathe" appears on disc one between "2 Hearts" and "Red Blooded Woman" on the deluxe edition, whereas "New York City" appears as the final song on disc two as a hidden track. This track order is also followed by the cassette and digital versions of the original release, with the exception of "New York City".{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/step-back-in-time-the-definitive-collection/1461904306?app=itunes|title=Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection by Kylie Minogue on iTunes|website=iTunes Store|access-date=2 May 2019}}{{dead link|date=March 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Some tracks from Minogue's discography were omitted from the album's original release, which sparked criticism; as a result, a third disc contains eight additional songs from her catalogue, as well as a megamix of Minogue's work lasting more than 40 minutes.{{cite AV media notes|title=Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection|author=Kylie Minogue|year=2019|type=liner notes|publisher=BMG Rights Management|id=BMGCAT385TCD}}

Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection garnered positive reviews from music critics. Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the greatest hits album four stars, calling it a "fitting tribute" in time for Minogue's 30th career anniversary. Sendra described it as "truly definitive and essential" and concluded by saying "This collection shows just how often that happened, especially after she was able to gain control of her own career." Graham Clark of The Yorkshire Times also awarded the album four stars, stating "In the fickle world of pop Kylie is still there at the top." Mick Jacobs of Spectrum Culture praised the compilation's overall versatility, describing Minogue's dance songs and downtempo moments as having "enduring appeal". Jacobs went on to say, "Step Back in Time stands as a strong reminder of not just how prolific her career has been but also how much more of it we can expect."

However, other critics noted the lack of new material and omitted singles. Classic Pop magazine gave it an 8 out of 10 rating and described it as a "nifty guide to one of the great modern pop careers". However, the reviewer felt it "isn't perfect" or "definitive". Pip Ellwood-Hughes, writing for Entertainment Focus, praised how the album's release "will most likely build on the current wave of love for Kylie that's sweeping the UK". Ellwood-Hughes, on the other hand, called the album's packaging a "disappointment" and concluded that "those of us who've been with her since the start might feel just that little bit underwhelmed with the lack of added extras".{{cite web|first=Pip|last=Ellwood-Hughes|url=https://entertainment-focus.com/2019/07/07/kylie-minogue-step-back-in-time-the-definite-collection-album-review/|title=Kylie Minogue – Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection album review|website=Entertainment Focus|date=7 July 2019|accessdate=29 January 2024}} Quentin Harrison of Albumism wrote an article echoing similar sentiments about the lack of certain tracks on Step Back in Time, stating that Minogue's singles "Finer Feelings", "Where Is the Feeling?", "Some Kind of Bliss", "Flower", and "Into the Blue" should have been included on the album's original release.{{cite web|first=Quentin|last=Harrison|url=https://albumism.com/features/mind-the-gaps-five-great-songs-missing-from-kylie-minogue-step-back-in-time-the-definitive-collection|title=Mind the Gap: Five Great Songs Missing from Kylie Minogue's Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection|website=Albumism|date=2 July 2019|accessdate=29 January 2024}}
