Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls the album "a by-the-books greatest-hits, a 15-track overview" with an ugly cover of a dog defecating. Regarding the contents of the compilation, he notes the emphasis on the band's latter-day albums over the earlier works. The inclusion on a cover version of Veruca Salt's "Seether" on a second disc of rarities, demos, and B-sides "should please fans".
