William Ruhlmann of AllMusic stated that people likely didn't know why UMG found it necessary to release the album seeing as the A Decade of Hits 1969–1979 album already had been released, going on to state that "the new 11-track album shares nine selections with the earlier 16-track one."[1] Michael H. Little of The Vinyl District stated the album dug into the band's "fine collection of shorter and less bluesy originals, which showed more country and boogie influences, as exemplified by the exquisitely beautiful tunes on 1973's Brothers and Sisters."[4]
