Critical reception

AllMusic's Jose F. Promis gave the album three stars out of five. He described the album as "somewhat random — perhaps focusing exclusively on her rock hits would have been a better choice, because including just a couple of old tracks proves somewhat frustrating." He also pointed out that hit songs like "Half-Breed" were not included and believed it affects the album.[4]
