The tracks were selected by original band members Robert Forster, Lindy Morrison, Robert Vickers and Amanda Brown[2] after a "long and arduous process."[3] Unlike previous compilations, the tracks covered their entire career including the reformation years – critics were split on whether the later era songs seemed out of place,[4][5][6] but all appreciated how the tracks flowed especially the "conscious sequencing"[7] contrasting early singles with latter reformation era tracks.
