Reception

In his

Allmusic review of this compilation, Rob Theakston says, "Complete with liner notes from Reddy herself, this is quite possibly the most comprehensive collection of her material that a casual fan could possibly ever need, and something which die-hard fans will enjoy having around, if only to have all of her most important works together in one volume."[1]
