Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote: "With the exception of Michel’le’s smooth kiss-off 'No More Lies,' the mostly sub-B-side cuts are a weak mix of filler and watered-down, post-disco rap from Dre and Yella’s pre-N.W.A outfit, the oft-ridiculed and ridiculously attired World Class Wreckin’ Cru’."[3]
Vibe gave the compilation a mixed review, writing that it puts Dre's early work in "proper context" and "historical perspective."[4] It also praised the D.O.C.'s contributions.
