It peaked at #59 on the Billboard charts.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

PopMatters wrote that "the new Greatest Hits album from the legendary Memphis duo draws completely from their peak period and sounds like the classic album that has eluded them their whole career rather than a 'best of' collection."[5]
