Allmusic gave the compilation a positive review, commenting, "While previous Island collections like Feelin' Alright: The Very Best of Traffic and 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection dutifully cover the radio essentials, Gold provides both newbies and longtime fans with a fully stocked buffet of fan favorites and album highlights."[1]
