Classic Rock[3]

Classic Rock's Pat Carty wrote that "this collection has it all, while politely skipping over the albums they made while Perry and Whitford were on sabbatical" and felt that it contains "everything a reasonably sane person could possibly want", concluding "are Aerosmith the best American band who didn't come from E Street or play behind Tom Petty? Quite possibly."[3]
