Critical reception

edit

Reviewing the box set for AllMusic, Andy Kellman described the content of all the different versions, remixes and b-sides as an "overkill to anyone but the biggest fan" of Duran Duran, but still found that "there are several goodies scattered around, and it's a convenient way to condense all of those 12" singles, cassingles, and CD5s into one portable package. It's not nearly as valuable as the box covering the earlier singles, but it's a nice companion piece, even if it only gets looked at and pawed over."[1]
