Record Collection was generally well-received by critics. It holds a score of 70 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". The AV Club's Marc Hawthorne assigned the album a grade of A−, saying: "Ronson raised the bar pretty high by making the synth fantasy "Bang Bang Bang" the lead single and placing it first on the album... but there's enough big-bang boom throughout to make Record Collection feel complete." Other positive reviews came from Entertainment Weekly, who described the album as "impressively varied" and added that "Ronson's got the production chops to hold it all together;" and AllMusic, who praised the album as "one of the best albums of [Ronson's] career." A review from Pitchfork writer Stephen M. Deusner was mixed – "It's a bit too clipped and choppy to be especially funky," he wrote, "but it does keep things fleet and agile as Ronson introduces and develops new ideas, revealing a musical curiosity that Version seemed to preclude." Other reviews, while praising guests such as Boy George and Rose Elinor Dougall, were unimpressed by Ronson's stylistic approach. Dot Music described the album as "disappointingly weak", while Uncut noted that the album's guests were the only thing that "save[s] the venture from total ignominy."
