| Brave Words | 8/10[4] |
Generally, the compilation has garnered positive reviews from fans and critics. A positive review from Sonic Perspectives stated that "The ongoing wave of greatness following one of America's oldest bands and most prized acts continues its upward trend of mixing heavy metal nostalgia and modernity, even when presenting a mishmash of mostly leftovers, covers, and assorted live performances."[3] Mark Gromen of Brave Words stated that the new material was enjoyable but found the B-Sides more a less than an exciting offering. While the covers and live tracks were decent, the remixes and bonus tracks from the XI sessions he enjoyed more, ending the review by stating "This is more than the usual house cleaning projects, with little duplication of what fans might already possess. Thumbs up!"[4]
