James Christopher Monger at AllMusic gave it four stars, calling it "a bloated, beautiful, unsettling storm of a record" with "everything an adoring fan could want, and all the ammunition a detractor could carry."[4] Bernard Zuel of The Sydney Morning Herald found it "is a summation of 26 years, drawing from all of the elements with sure rather than desperate hands" where saying that it is "the kind of collection that will warm the hearts of those for whom the 1980s and early 1990s remain the golden years of the Church, should not be read as an indication that the band has retro-fitted its career".[5]

gollark: It's dragonomics, you know.
gollark: Given their access to ND tutorials/assistance, fancy forumy trading whatsits, notifications about, say, AP SAltkins, and other stuff, probably discord/forum people are slightly "richer" than the average DC user.
gollark: The ones on the forum/discord are most likely to be those WITH rares, though.
gollark: See, if an ND-maker can just wait two months and get a gold (assuming this stays in place, though) they'll demand more golds due to their declining rarity/value.
gollark: Yes, BUT the availability of market eggs will drive down demand for them.
