Writing for Allmusic, music critic Stewart Mason wrote of the album "An excellent although not perfect introduction to the art rock and dance-pop world of the Suburbs... It's not all the Suburbs one will ever need—at the very least, In Combo and Credit in Heaven are essential—but it's a fine entry into the group for newcomers." [1]

Ira Robbins of Trouser Press called the compilation "a useful 19-track retrospective that would have benefited from more exhaustive annotation." [2]
