" scott harrah from awarded the album four - and - a - half stars out of five , but did not review the box set ; instead , he reviewed each album individually because " all [ albums ] are so different in both sound and concept . " jon o 'brien from allmusic awarded the album three - and - a - half stars , labelling her earlier work as " infectious " . despite being critical towards the lack of inclusion of her 1994 – 1998 deconstruction work , and the inclusion of her albums , x , and aphrodite , he concluded " kylie has yet to make that one essential album , and the going - through - the - motions nature of her later releases suggests her time may have passed , but this box set still contains plenty of moments to justify her position as one of the all - time premier pop princesses . " writing in retrospect for daily express , reviewer simon gage was critical of minogue 's lack of musical progression , charisma , and thought that she lacked a " great voice " . he stated " there are dodgy tracks and the “ voice ” , more processed than a tinned pea , does start to grate but it ’ s still pretty good . " he awarded the box set three stars . british journalist paul du noyer reviewed the box set , and complimented minogue 's parlophone work as " ambiguous pop " . however , he stated " there ’ s a lot of ambitious pop in here , but no conceptual overreach . not even her experience of breast cancer was allowed to surface in kylie ’ s subsequent material : lyrically , it was straight back to business . it seems unlikely such a 20 - year lucky streak could be sustained without a lot of shrewd decisions by minogue herself . so it seems that everyone is right after all : kylie is a good thing , and here is just enough of it . " in the united kingdom , the box set debuted at number thirty - seven on the uk albums chart , becoming minogue 's nineteenth album entry since her debut album , kylie ( 1987 ) . the box set stayed in for one week on the top 100 chart . the albums 2000 - 2010 also debuted at number forty on the scottish albums chart for a sole week . track listing charts release history
