The Allmusic listing awarded the compilation 4 stars.[1] Writing for Pitchfork Media, Chris Dalen stated "Naked City will always be Zorn's "coolest" project, the best vehicle for his early ideas, and one of the most intriguing ensembles its members ever joined. And now, Zorn can inter it in a single box and once again set it aside."[3] All About Jazz correspondent, Mark Corroto, labelled it "Probably as dangerous a music as has ever been produced."[2]
