The album received mixed ratings from music critics , but mostly the ratings remained average.
The album received a very positive rating from Allmusic . Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes about the album that Fall Out Boy shows with the compilation that they are an integral part of mainstream rock of the decade. The overall rating is 4.5 out of 5 possible stars.
Deborah Katona from Laut.de takes a different opinion. She thinks that too much emphasis was placed on suitability for the masses in the selection of songs and that the strengths of the band are lost as a result. This makes the album seem too boring and boring to her. It only awards 2 out of 5 stars as a grade.
Plattentests.de rates the album with an average of 6 out of 10 points. Critic Sven Cadario writes about the album that the record would not be for real rock fans, but the songs are otherwise very catchy, even if they are not musically of very high quality.
Matthias Reichel from cdstarts.de awards 5 out of 10 points and says about the album that the release of a best-of album is unnecessary and is therefore only suitable for new fans of the band.
