Reception

According to Stephen Erlewine of Allmusic: The album is a satisfying listen for both hardcore fans and newbies alike. Even though he called the 1975–1976 recordings in this album "second-tier", he called the band "incredibly supple and engaging" and said the cover songs are "intriguing" and the band "lay[s] down a solid, irresistible groove" on their original songs.
