AllMusic

David Jeffries from AllMusic says the two sides of UB40's career is represented in Greatest Hits from "the ultra-slick, easy to swallow side of the band" with tracks like "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You" mixed in with "the underdog with roots reggae attitude and dubby production" numbers like "One in Ten". He calls it a "one-disc, nonjudgmental document of UB40 done right."
