Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album a perfect five-star review, saying it "confirms that
Green Day not only were popular and good, but they could have held their own against their idols" and that "distilled to their singles, Green Day sound fiercer than ever, and more musically vibrant". Sal Cinquemani of
Slant Magazine rated it four stars out of five, remarking that "Time-tested hits like '
Basket Case', '
Brain Stew', and '
Hitchin' a Ride', along with soundtrack contributions '
J.A.R.' and '
Nice Guys Finish Last', heartily display Green Day's remarkable longevity. The album's new offering, 'Poprocks & Coke', dishes out more of the maturated, acoustic-filled folk-punk that began with '
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' and
Warning ... The collection's only flaw is the omission of tracks representing the band's pre-fame days." ==Track listing==
