James Christopher Morgan stated in a review of the album on AllMusic that it includes "16 cuts from the legendary Swedish pop group" and that the album "pales in comparison to hit-stuffed overviews like Gold, Number Ones, and Definitive Collection, especially in light of the absence of key tracks."[1]
