AllMusic[1]

AllMusic writer James Christopher Monger states that "Best of Crash Test Dummies touches on all of (the band's) albums, grabbing the strongest cuts (many of which were initially buried amongst more cringe-inducing moments) and bringing them front and center. Songs like Unforgiven Ones, Ghosts That Haunt Me, the still heartbreaking Superman Song and even the one-off cover of XTC's Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead (recorded when the original was only a year old), and the oddball faux-neo-soul of Keep a Lid on Things are oddly infectious, though just as divisive now as they were in their heyday."[1]
