In an AllMusic review, Jose F. Promis says "Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears provides an excellent overview of the band's key tracks" with the set improving upon their previous compilation (1992's Tears Roll Down) by including an additional five tracks. He concludes by stating it "stands as the definitive Tears for Fears collection".[1] Mike Duquette of the Second Disc states that it is the "best single disc TFF set for your money" and that "It's inexplicable as to why a generic 20th Century Masters disc was released almost simultaneously."[4]
