In a review for the US release, senior critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine notes that "Even though this double-disc set covers a lot of ground, there's a huge amount of terrific material that isn't included on the compilation", noting that "It's the perfect way to start an Elvis collection and, for many casual fans, the only set to own."[2]
