Reception

AllMusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "There are some strong moments on the best-of disc, particularly the ballad "Dream Theme". The die-hard Brecker Brothers fans will prefer to get the complete sessions on the original LPs, but this makes a nice sampler for casual fans".
