In addition to the standard edition, a limited edition, two-disc The Best of – 25 Years Revisited version was also released, which features a selection of eleven songs re-interpreted and recorded live.[3]
The album peaked at No. 17 in the UK, remaining in the Top 100 for thirteen weeks.[4] Moyet supported the release with the 25 Years Revisited tour, which spanned 26 venues across the UK and Ireland during November–December 2009.[5]
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."[3]
