AllMusic editor Andy Kellman wrote that "a European release, Greatest Hits should provide just about anyone with all the Atomic Kitten that's necessary [...] It touches on each of the group's studio albums with a strong emphasis placed on the single [...] Why the US powers that be never gave this group (and Sugababes) more of a chance is anyone's guess."[1] Annabel Leathes from BBC Music felt that "if this hits collection is to be their parting gift, then weeping fans will not be disappointed. The album features fifteen tracks from the felines, most of which are a fair representation of the Kittens' consistent chart success."[2]
