Reception

In his Allmusic review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "Given the length of Tubb's career, there are certainly plenty of charting hits and terrific music that didn't make the cut, but this has the great majority of his biggest and best hits, making this the best single-disc Tubb collection yet released..."
