AllMusic [1]

AllMusic rated the collection 41⁄2-stars-out-of-5, and wrote while "some consumers may be a little ticked at the non-chronological sequencing, this collection does have one big, big virtue -- it has Carly Simon's big hits, not just from the '70s, but such latter-day comebacks as " Coming Around Again" and " Let the River Run", on one disc. That makes it worth import prices for non-U.K. residents looking for a thorough collection." [1]
