Playlist: The Very Best of Dixie Chicks received four stars out of five from Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic. Erlewine wrote that "the tracks are sharply selected, making for a good, representative compilation if not quite a definitive one." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the compilation three and a half stars out of five, calling it "a great representation of who they are as artists" while adding "it will also have to serve as a placeholder for chicks fans until their label does eventually get around to releasing a career-spanning ‘greatest hits’ record."
Playlist: The Very Best of Dixie Chicks peaked at number 27 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart the week of June 19, 2010 and number 165 on the Billboard 200.[5]
