AllMusic's Andy Kellman, in a 3/5-star review, exclaimed "While it does include the big hits ('You Can't Change That', 'A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)', 'Jack and Jill', 'That Old Song'), it's hardly definitive since it misses out on a lot of strong album-based material. Once we truly entered the CD age, a number of anthologies came around that were more in-depth (if as flawed) than this one."[3]
