Upon release, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian described the set as "lavish", and added "MacColl remains a more complex figure than her everywoman public image suggested".[8]
Bob Mehr of The New York Times commented: "The release of See That Girl has given MacColl's friends and fans an opportunity to reassess her musical legacy, as well as consider what might have been."[9]
Record Collector noted that "It's a voyage that stops off at vintage girl group tropes, ironic country, indie guitar anthems, trip-hop and salsa, all underpinned by an impossibly attractive and very English conversational vocal style."[5] The Daily Express gave the set 5 stars, and described it as "a huge overview of a talented singer-songwriter".[10]
