Review by Amy Hanson from allmusic.com

Always and Forever is a masterful look at one of the funkiest disco bands ever
to grace a DJ's table. This compilation, set up like most, is packed with hits in
chronological order, showcasing not only a great dance set, but also the
important chronicle of an underrated band. With the band's two smash singles
"Boogie Nights" and "The Groove Line" kicking things off, this disc essentially
traces Heatwave's history though their singles releases with a smattering of
extra tunes thrown in for good measure. As a whole, the set is also a record
of the subtle changes in composition and performance that took the band
from disco sensibilities to a richer and far more textured soft funk, most
notably on "Gangsters of the Groove." Of course, there is some pure funk
here too, and "Lettin' It Loose" is a reminder that this band did have a few
other tricks up their sleeves. And, of course, since Heatwave are best
remembered as a disco band, the fan won't be disappointed either. Special
disco versions of "The Groove Line" and "Eyeballin" replace regular album cuts.
Rounding out the mix are "Central Heating" and "Happiness Togetherness,"
while the sweet soul ballad "Look After Love" closes the album as certainly as
"Boogie Nights" opens it. Disco, funk, soul --Heatwave incorporate all genres
with ease. And no matter how you categorize this band, there is a little
groove for everyone. And while it's true that the band will never be lauded
with the best of the best, they still recorded some absolutely delicious
nuggets.
