William Ruhlmann from AllMusic rated it
three and a half out of five stars, stating that Disc 1 of the compilation suffers from a lack of musical cohesion, as it is dedicated to songs from
The Singer ("filled with soft-rock renditions of early '70s hits by other artists"),
Tropical Nights ("a disco album"), and
Results ("featuring dance music and synth-pop tracks"). He noted that Disc 2 "flows much better" but has issues with song selection, as it excludes Minnelli’s best-known tracks and is mostly composed of songs from
Live at the Winter Garden (1974). Ultimately, the critic called the album "just a good anthology." Martin Townsend of the
Daily Express found the song selection careless and claimed Minnelli "wastes her rare talent on clichéd, inappropriate, and even bad tracks. As a positive aspect, he highlighted "A Beautiful Thing" for its light arrangement and the tracks produced by
Pet Shop Boys. A critic from
Music Week called it a perfect guide for those wanting to explore the singer’s musical work. They highlighted the generous number of songs from Minnelli’s iconic film soundtracks, as well as interesting covers of
1970s hits. The review also mentions Minnelli’s brief foray into the
singles charts and praises the inclusion of contemporary tracks, such as the "excellent reinvention" of Sondheim’s "Losing My Mind" by the Pet Shop Boys. ==Track listing==
