Allmusic wrote "While not a perfectly well-rounded retrospective, Major Pain 2 Indee Freedom: The Best of Hed P.E. does a good job summarizing (hed) p.e.’s recordings for Suburban Noize".[1] Kik Axe Music called the retrospective "a love letter to longtime listeners [that] just might bring some new ones into the fold as well."[5]

Tracks

• Most of the live tracks are from the limited bonus DVD that came with the album. The studio tracks are all the bonus tracks (except one, "Bucky Lasek") from New World Orphans when the album was released standard and in three different color variations (black, white and red).
