Reception

Impose described the collection as "a 20-tuned compilation of remixes, B-sides and obscure Wu material", with a "continuous swinging baseline", a "soulful musical setting which provide a fine contrast to the rappers lyrical grit", and "sounds that stem from the comforting to the intimidating". Nevertheless, the magazine also described the collection as "appeal more to the Wu-head than the casual Wu-Tang fan".
Complex called one song from the collection, Maxine (Remix), "told over a heavy-duty 1970s experience" but "smoothout considerably with an easy-like-Sunday-morning groove".
HipHopDX praised the compilation as a "testament to the knob twisting skills of Mathematics", but also stated that "the Clan's core members don’t make enough unheard appearances on the disc".
