reception

Laut.de headlined "Shine and misery are sometimes close to each other" and pointed out that the selection of the pieces was successful, but not complete - especially the "Rock'n'Roll phase of Western Hagens" was "a little underrepresented".

Even Rolling Stone praised the selection of the double CD, but criticized the two new pieces as "two soft-focus kippers for the needs of the regimented format radio" and concluded:

“After all, all Westernhagen albums have been remastered, so that you can still get an impression of what Marius sounded like when he wasn't quite 'ready'. Friends of this time will disdain the 'Best Of', but the audience of the later years will be happy about the gift under the Christmas tree. "
