Referring to the 1997 Japanese release, Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted the difficulty of picking tracks for the release and summarized: "there are still a number of equally good, if not better, cuts that are left off. As a result, The Next Voice You Hear is merely adequate for casual Browne fans, but it's nowhere near definitive." [3]
