AllMusic[1]

AllMusic editor Rob Theakston found that "it seems premature in a five-year career to have a best-of compilation out, but these 15 selections add up to a most satisfying listening experience. With her vocal delivery, Stone belts tunes out better than most, and covers some of soul music's more obscure classics, making them her own with reverence and ease. And it seems that with each new release she becomes more focused and distinct from her contemporaries, and as a result turns out one of the better greatest-hits compilations from this era."[1]
