Writing for AllMusic, Neil Z. Young states it "serves the casual fan, one who fondly remembers these massive radio/MTV hits but doesn't feel like picking up their actual albums", concluding by saying that "As it stands, three tracks from each studio album is a fair distribution and this is a fine snapshot of a career that deserves a little more credit than it got at the time of Creed's peak in popularity."[5] In a Blabbermouth review, Anne Erickson states that "While the new mastering brings a slick, modern sound to these classics, which at this point are decades old", she notes that "Highlights include opening track "Higher", which sounds even bigger and more explosive than the original version, and "Torn", whose thick guitars and drums especially benefit from the modern mastering".[6]
