Reception


In Classic Rock, Rob Hughes gave this compilation 4 out of 5 stars, praising "songs that are funny, sad, slightly surreal and sometimes harrowing, with an uncommon eye for the most telling details, however small", but noting that the high price made this "for collectors only". At Louder Than War, Lee Hammond declared Eels "one of the great bands of our generation", stating that "this box set documents an incredible rise of one of the worlds [sic] most loved bands"; he rated this album an 8 out of 10. Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Alex Lee Thomson took the box set's release to assess the band's early career at large, calling Eels "one of humanity’s greatest offerings to history", noting how Eels never fit into mainstream rock radio and continuing that "there’s so much range to their music as a whole it’s like sticking a pin in a map that expands in every direction from wherever you plot it", ending that this run of works in particular are "miraculous".
