Cover design
The album cover is kept quite simple. It shows the band's logo in gray - a smiling smiley whose eyes are crossed and surrounded by a circle with five arrows pointing to the left. At the top of the picture is the band lettering blink-182 and at the bottom of the picture the title Greatest Hits in gray. The background is black.

Oliver Lambrecht from laut.de rated the album with three out of a possible five points. It is "a farewell album with 18 songs that rightly have the title" Best Of "attached." The development of the band over five studio albums is well recorded, even if the added value next to the well-known songs is "not really much".
