Critical reception[edit]

Review scores
Source	Rating
AllMusic	^[4]
NME	4/10^[5]

AllMusic's Jose F. Promis gave the album three stars out of five. He described the album as『somewhat random — perhaps focusing exclusively on her rock hits would have been a better choice, because including just a couple of old tracks proves somewhat frustrating.』He also pointed out that hit songs like "Half-Breed" were not included and believed it affects the album.^[4]
