In his review, Jess Harvell (Pitchfork) called the collection "one of the better introductions to the duo's work" even though it contains a combination of "accessible" and "difficult" music.[3] Corey Beasley (PopMatters) concurs, stating "the box could serve almost as well as an entry-point into the group’s catalog for a beginner as it would for a completionist or superfan".[4] Gregory Heaney (Allmusic) noted the "stark, minimal, and austere"[2] properties of the physical box set as one of its key selling points.
