reception
Natalie Cada from Plattentests.de found the compilation too sad, but praised the new piece NYC and the remixes of the Deluxe Edition. She awarded six out of ten points. Entertainment Focus’s Pip Ellwood-Hughes said the album started well but also showed why Dido's popularity had declined. He also praised the remixes that would give Dido's songs a different sound. Joseph Arellano from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer praised the sound and mix. For him, the album is also a good example of why less is sometimes more. Still, it is a good album if one were already able to skip the last three less artistic songs.
