Critical reception

BBC Music said of the first volume: "Sometimes, the marching programmed beats can be a touch insistent, but the wild wedding band vitality always remains untamed."[2] Allmusic, in their 3/5 star review, said: "Overall, there is plenty to spin and take in, and being marred by a couple of cuts near the end spoils nothing. Check it."[3] Pitchfork Media also called the compilation "excellent".[4] [5]
