AllMusic

Steve Leggett from AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 saying; "Australia's The Seekers have had a long career, one that began in the early 1960s, and five decades on, this two-disc, 50-track set appeared to celebrate the group's 50th anniversary. All the hits and essential sides are here, including "Georgy Girl," "A World of Our Own," and "I'll Never Find Another You," among others, as well as two new tracks unique to this set. The Seekers were never really an albums act, so what's truly essential is here, making this both a nice introduction and a fair high-point summation of the group's catalog."
