Reception

Financial Times reviewer Ludovic Hunter-Tilney gave the collection three stars, noting that it is one of more than 30 Kinks greatest-hit collections that have been released during the band's long history. The review found the first CD to be similar to others, but the second CD "more distinctive" in its assortment of Kinks and Davies recordings about London. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph criticized the collection for lacking or providing lower quality versions of some of the greatest Kinks hits, such as "Victoria", "I Go to Sleep", and "Stop Your Sobbing", but overall he found the release to be "an extraordinary album none the less", praising the second disc's collection of London songs and awarding an overall rating of four stars out of five.
