Critical reception

Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine praises the compilation for its tighter and more concise approach to Carter's discography, compared to 2003's Most Requested Hits . Erlewine also notes the omission of "Shake It", Carter's first hit, and Carter's cover of "Surfin' USA", both tracks present on his debut album. [3]
