AllMusic[7]

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic commented: "The remasters sounds exceptional, and nearly all of her most notable singles are here, but listeners just looking for the Yaz classic "Don't Go" would be better off with 2003's Essential compilation, as it contains the best of both worlds."[8]
