  The NME gave it a grade of 8 out of 10 and called it "patchy" but stated "there are gems hidden on here iridescent enough to render the collection essential". AllMusic writer Ben Davies gave it a three-star review, stating that the "low points come around rarely, and are far outnumbered by the quality tracks".
