[1] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the compilation three and a half stars out of five, calling it "a great representation of who they are as artists" while adding "it will also have to serve as a placeholder for chicks fans until their label does eventually get around to releasing a career-spanning ‘greatest hits’ record."
