"All Music Guide" had positive things to say about the collection, noting that most of the remixes "maintain the beauty of the original music,"[1] although one mix (the Eiffel 65 mix) is an exception: it strays "too far away from the original song while not adding anything interesting to win over the listener."[1] Overall, the collection was referred to as "refreshing" and "stunning."[1]
