Reception
Catherine May from More Than You Think said "Is this a serious collection of tracks honouring the band? Possibly not... but it is an album that pays tribute to the kids' band in a fun way. There's no irony or subtle digs at the band, because ultimately they are Australian legends with twenty years of wildly successful albums, tours and TV shows behind them, and this album is definitely legendary in my book".[3]
