Brian Mansfield of AllMusic says, "what makes Collection interesting is early versions of "One of Those Things" and "Maybe It Was Memphis" as well as a version of "Five Minutes," later a hit for Lorrie Morgan."[1]
Alanna Nash of EW writes, "What a difference a new producer makes! Warner Bros. spent five years of the '80s trying to do what Arista then did in one, which is make Mel's little girl a star. Here's Pam Tillis Collection (Warner Bros.), the best of what she recorded before leaving for her current label."[2]
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe remarks, "It has to be frustrating for a label to see an artist that they never had success with go on to another label in town and become a big star right off the bat."[3]
