In a review for the album on AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated that "hits compilations are hurt by the desire of the artist or the label to cover all aspects of an artist's career" and says that it is a "perfect example of this trait, particularly since so much of it is so good", and that "here idiosyncratic choices take precedent, to the detriment of the overall effect of the album. This results in merely a bad finish to a collection that is, overall, on the money, but it could have been better, fuller overview with just a little more thought, and the collection suffers because of these few poor choices."[1]
