James Christopher Monger said of the Colour Collection reissue that "Universal International's Colour Collection features a branded die-cut digipak and 15 Bachman-Turner Overdrive songs", noting that "As far as "greatest-hits" compilations go, this one hits all of the right notes", concluding by saying that fans should instead buy either The Anthology (1993) or Gold (2005).[3]
