Raspberries' Best was well received by critics; Dave Marsh called it "an exquisite anthology of Seventies pop rock that's a throwback to the heyday of the Beatles and Beach Boys",[3] while Robert Christgau said the compilation "performs a needed service by compiling cuts from the group's first two (flawed) albums".[4]
