Critical reception
Bruce Eder of AllMusic concludes his review by saying, "The material, a good distillation of the best of those three albums, all sounds fine and represents the group's virtuoso sound from this period."[1]
William Ramoutar writes in his review of the album for Irish Culture and Customs, "This is when The Chieftains were at their strongest and stayed that way for many years. This is the way I want to remember The Chieftains."[2]
Scott Hudson of Pop Matters says, "For the uninitiated, The Best of the Chieftains is great place to start, but by all means don't stop there."[3]
