Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing for AllMusic, said: "Other compilations dig deeper and individual albums are necessary, but as a full-career overview, this does its job." Erlewine noted that "Mrs. Robinson," "Kodachrome," "Loves Me Like a Rock," and "The Obvious Child" are major songs that are missing but continues to write that "Over the Bridge doesn't quite feel as if anything is missing because it does paint a nice overall picture of Simon's career and does have many major songs".
