Rolling Stone (11/27/03, p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A greatest hits of what passed for punk at the time...gigantic, astonishing young-loud-snotty anthems by the Clash and X-Ray Spex and the Germs, but also Nick Lowe's wry power pop, Ian Drury's goofy disco and Television's guitar-hero acrobatics..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/31/03, p.74) - "...Simply top-notch....Any compilation that rescues both Television's 'Little Johnny Jewel' and Eddie and the Hot Rods' 'Do Anything You Want to Do' from obscurity deserves a coupla tons of praise..." - Rating: A
