Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic feels that with the focus of the collection on the group's "pop-reggae crossovers" from the 1990s "fans of UB40's political edge and their genuine reggae roots won't find much of interest here." However, he does believe it represents "a good summation of the band's second decade".[2]

gollark: I've experienced a similar problem on CodersNet, it's problematic.
gollark: Except across servers instead of just across computers on one server.

gollark: So if you control all/the majority of GPS hosts on a server, you can selectively deny GPS service, or meddle with the returned coordinates and spoof positions!
