Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "This is a greatest hits album of dance music that has been promoted, mainly including the remixes of the dance songs from Magic and Castle , and it was used as a warm-up of Jolin Tsai's upcoming first world tour. The album itself is not very impressive, except for two new songs, other songs included are just remixes of the dance hits at that time. But, Jolin Tsai's popularity has long been on the rise, and with the campaign of 'limited release', the album is still being snapped up by her fans." [19]
