reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic described the album as a "lukewarm collection of remixes and obscurities" that would only be of interest to die-hard fans of the band, even if their patience was put to the test because of the long playing time. Marcus Schleutermann from Rock Hard describes the "variants of the known pieces" as "without exception worse than the original versions" and the six "new" songs are mostly "almost half-minute joke numbers", which "not without reason on none Album released ”.
