AllMusic[3]

Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote that the album "puts most of its focus on tracks from Velveteen" and the inclusion of songs from Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble "reveal that Transvision Vamp's experiments with dance and hip-hop beats didn't sound at all disastrous, even though that was the effect that they had on the band" and the selected remixes actually "pushes the band's sound further in that direction". Phares concluded it is "a good retrospective of Transvision Vamp's entertaining, if slight, late-'80s/early-'90s alterna-pop".[3]

Notes

  • "(I Just Wanna) B with U" is incorrectly titled "(I Just Wanna) Be with You".
  • Daryl Easlea wrongly states that the title of Transvision Vamp's third album was The Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble. It was simply Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble.
