In an AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, he stated that it was a "16-track snapshot of Billy Joel in his prime." and called it a "good, entertaining sampler of some of Billy's best songs."[2] The Second Disc critic Joe Marchese states that it "draws on eight of the artist’s Columbia Records releases, from 1973’s breakthrough Piano Man to 1993’s River of Dreams."[3]
