In a review by Heather Phares of AllMusic, "The most complete retrospective of Yanni's work since Devotion: The Best of Yanni in 1997 and The Very Best of Yanni in 2000, Ultimate Yanni comes close to living up to its title. The double-disc, 24-track set features digitally remastered versions of definitive songs like "Marching Season", "To the One Who Knows", "Reflections of Passion", "Aria", "Santorini" and "Flight of Fantasy", and also includes tracks from his earliest albums as well as his compositions for the Olympics, Tour de France, and Wide World of Sports."[4]
