Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment 's Shu Wa commented: "Jolin Tsai's first greatest hits album, which features sixteen tracks that nearly encompass all of her major singles from her time with Universal. The release of this compilation coincided with a period of contract disputes between Tsai and her management company. Additionally, the inclusion of fourteen music videos was a significant draw at the time." [1]
