Allmusic critic Tim Sendra said of the deluxe version "There have been other Wings collections and they were fine; this double-disc does the best job of capturing all aspects of the band’s career. Anyone wanting to study pop music of the era should make this one of their first stops." [2] Classic Rock critic Fraser Lewry said of the 1 disc version that it's "heaven-sent hitsville." [3]
