Critical reception

AllMusic's Michael Sutton said the album "collects choice cuts from a group that is usually remembered for one song", drawing vocal comparisons of the band's singer Alan Frew to George Michael in "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" and musically similarities in "Animal Heart" with Def Leppard. However, he admits that the compilation "should've stopped with their second LP" because "by their third record, the group had become nearly unlistenable".[1]
