Retropop | [2] |
Retropop called the album a "carefully curated set" that does not include all of Texas's major hits but rather makes it "less a commercial exercise and more a finely pieced-together collection of vignettes from throughout the years". The publication also felt that the two new songs "sit seamlessly alongside the group's back catalogue and prove that, decades into their career, Texas remain in fine form" and "only the limited tracklist [...] slightly lets down this superb celebration of the band's work to date".[2]
