Reception
AllMusic gave the album a good review and 4.5 stars, stating:
"The set bundles up a bumper crop of Garnett Silk's early hits and fan faves, kicking off with "Hello Africa," the artist's biggest single, and his first international smash" "Love songs light up the rest of the set, with the most magnificent a tribute to Silk's "Mama," an exuberant, heartfelt hit overseen by Courtney Cole. And love is everywhere, "It's Growing" by the minute; that sublime hit titled the singer's debut album, another masterpiece "Every number here is a winner, the backing's superb, the arrangements expertly enhancing the themes and Silk's vocals; the production's top-notch. This isn't all the Silk you need, but it's a great place to start"
