Reception
Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine commented that "[a]ll the hits are here, along with a sharp selection of album tracks, pretty much rounding up all the highlights from his rich, extensive career. Diehards will still want the albums, but serious fans who want just one Michael Franks album will need this."
