AllMusic | [1] |
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the compilation 4 out of 5 stars, and wrote that "diehards will probably not need it (even if the liner notes are quite good), but since it condenses much of the band's noteworthy moments to one disc, casual fans will likely find this a collection to embrace."[2]
