Reception[edit]

Editors at AllMusic Guide gave this album 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Bruce Eder callin it "an odd album" for how it collects random singles but is not a greatest hits album, characterizing it as "a slapped together effort" in order to capitalize on the success of "Come a Little Bit Closer" that features "good if not exceptional pop-rock".[1]
