Critical reception

On AllMusic, Bret Adams said, "It would be easy to argue that individual albums like Idlewild South, At Fillmore East, Eat a Peach, or Brothers and Sisters are more cohesive artistic statements, but no self-respecting rock & roll fan should be without a copy of A Decade of Hits 1969-1979, which includes the cream of those albums."
