Critical reception

Heather Phares of Allmusic rated the compilation 3 stars out of 5, saying that it "is a consistent collection of the band's easygoing, sentimental songs, and while it doesn't replace a more straightforward greatest-hits compilation, it should please the band's fans as well as anyone partial to romantic country." [1] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard reviewed "I'm in the Mood" favorably, saying that it "has a slow, sultry groove that showcases lead vocalist Randy Owen's warm, honey-smooth Southern voice." [2]
