Critical reception

Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter wrote that "this exhaustive, some might say exhausting, 43 track compilation presents the quartet in all their 'Radio Wall of Sound' glory, to quote one of their lesser known pop rocking gems". Horowitz also felt that Slade's music is "heavy on stomping beats and impossibly catchy choruses made for stadium-sized, chanting" and their "music may seem simplistic and somewhat repetitious, but writing anthemic choruses meant to be shouted by well-oiled fans cranked up at ear-splitting volume is a talent few can pull off, let alone as effectively as this".
