Reception

Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Thom Jurek described it as a "dynamite find" and that "there have been many compilations over the years, but none are this extensive or pervasive in covering his underappreciated career. The DVD included with the import version offers proof as to why Stevens sold out concert halls all over Europe and Japan".[1] Joe Goodden for BBC Wales Music described the album as a "definitive collection of Shakin' Stevens hits" and that it "should deservedly revive the fortunes of one of Wales' most fondly remembered and successful singers".[5]
