| AllMusic |   [2] |
Dave Thompson of AllMusic described the compilation as "immensely enjoyable". He wrote, "The album, like the band, is at its best in the early years, while Spandau still took their status as Britain's finest club funk band seriously," and that "the balladic successes of 'Gold', 'True', and 'Only When You Leave' do much to detract from the sheer genius of those early hits, although their own brilliance cannot be disavowed."[2]
