Critical reception

Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the compilation 4.5 stars out of 5, saying that "Some may grumble about the sequencing, but it flows nicely and has all the hits while illustrating the depth of the band’s catalog, which is enough to make it as essential as billed." Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave it an identical rating, also praising it as a "comprehensive" representation of the group's career, although he criticized it for omitting "Cold Day in July" and including too many album cuts from Taking the Long Way in comparison to their other albums.
