The compilation includes 14 songs from previous albums as well as one new song, "Do You Love It?"[5] The track list was compiled from what Mew consider to be their "best work."

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "it’s difficult to think of another group that’s this committed to pop songcraft, and yet that colors so far outside the lines with its music, creating a sound that really is the band’s alone."[2]
