Critical reception
AllMusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine criticized that the compilation album contained such a large percentage of obscure singles, album songs, and rare tracks.[1] Erlewine said the collection, "while listenable, is far from their classic work, and pales dramatically in comparison to Recurring Dream."[1] Gregg Shapiro of Windy City Times was more favorable, stating that the collection was worthwhile thanks to the album's two live recordings, "When You Come" and "Sister Madly".[2]
