Allmusic[2]

Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, writing that, "'Un-Break My Heart: The Remix Collection' is a nice change of pace from the typical patched-together cash-in compilation of remixes," praising Hex Hector for "allowing enough room for the bulk of each track to play, rather than showing off quick-wristed skills that would likely knock the wind out of the selections." Kellman picked "the 'HQ2' mix of 'Hit the Freeway,' Frankie Knuckles mix of 'Un-Break My Heart,' and Peter Rauhofer's mix of 'He Wasn't Man Enough' as the highlights."[2]
