Ned Raggett of AllMusic said that the collection was a "fine overview of Mandrill's work throughout the '70s" and added that "this is required listening for anyone exploring the roots of electric funk", calling it "music aiming to move minds and bodies in equal measure."[1]
Tony Green of JazzTimes praised the compilation, saying "[a] word to anyone who passes on the two-disc Fencewalk: The Anthology: you’re missing out." He added that "the group’s often eye-opening stylistic range remains one of the most overlooked high points of funk’s golden era."[3]
