Johnny Loftus of AllMusic stated that the album is "really an abstract, an only slightly condensed run through Sublime's three studio albums" and went on to say that "Gold isn't for anybody, because it includes too much shake for the noncommittal but not enough kind for the Sublime professionals." [1] In a review for The Gazette, Anna Paige states that it "is a smattering of music" and that "Making Sublime a 'gold' band counters the culture they helped create" and also that "When 'Sublime Gold' skips tracks from the original albums I jerk suddenly, feeling that I have missed something great." [3]
