The album reached the 50th spot on the UK Top 75 Album chart, falling back the following week and failed to stay in the 75 for the third week. It nearly sold 10,800 copies and ranked #121 on the Billboard 200. It has sold over 119,747 copies. Although the album excludes tracks from Snoop's landmark Doggystyle record, it provides popular songs from his four albums released between 1998 and 2002.

Allmusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5 and said, "A lot of people — fans and haters alike — declared Snoop's career dead once the disastrous first No Limit album came out, so the MC himself must feel at least a little vindicated that this set exists."
