Critical reception
Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "This double-CD greatest hits album was released seven days after the release of Magic, which was released after Jolin Tsai joined Sony. The double-CD greatest hits album features works as many as 30 songs, which means almost all of Jolin Tsai's works during the Universal period have been included. This is the first work released by Jolin Tsai's old label that competed sales with the album released by her new label."[10]
