AllMusic |
Steve "Spaz" Schnee from AllMusic states: "This collection of singles was a perfect introduction to the Mentals' work up to that point (and what an optimistic title it is, too). Featuring all the recent hits from Fundamental as well as singles dating back to Get Wet, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 is superb. If it's pure pop you're looking for, look no further than this."[1]
