Reception

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]
