Lily Moayeri of Under the Radar said the album "is all the Zero 7 anyone could ask for—all killer, no filler." [5] Pitchfork Media's Jess Harvell wrote that "the best-of format actually works against Zero 7 by ignoring the non-singles that added, however rarely, some much-needed variety to their albums." [2] Sachyn Mital of PopMatters suggested that the single-disc version is "passable for new listeners", while the deluxe version "might please longtime fans hoping to collect many remixes on one disc."
