In a review from AllMusic, music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that it "is a 15-track collection of highlights from Fleetwood Mac's classic years" and that "the overall effect is to ever so slightly emphasize Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie over Lindsey Buckingham". He said that "this may not precisely reflect the division of labor in the band, but it does make for a very nice, adult contemporary-leaning collection that will sure satisfy consumers who pick it up in Starbucks."
