Critical reception

Reception was overall positive.

Gary Crowley of BBC Radio London stated "This splendidly put together 4-CD set is a timely reminder of their might and talent, which went far beyond the numerous foot-stompin’, badly-spelt hits they racked up in the singles charts over the years."

Gavin Martin of Daily Mirror stated "This collection - complete with an excellent essay charting their career - is an essential fan’s portrait of a working band in their prime."

Peter Makowski of Classic Rock wrote "This four-CD compilation presents a comprehensive history of our dyslexic gurners, from their early skinhead days as an underwhelming rock band to the golden years and a non-stop barrage of stomping hits."

Alan Jones from Music Week stated "Appearing hot on the heels of individually upgraded and remastered editions of Slade’s most important albums, this four CD boxed set is a superb alternative, collecting together 84 hits, album cuts and rarities from 1969 to 1991 in a sturdy cardboard longbox, which also includes a 72-page booklet containing an informative essay on the band by Keith Altham, an extensive discography and a multitude of pictures of the band."
