AllMusic[1]

Stewart Mason of AllMusic gave The Best of Sixteen Volt: 1993-2003 two and a half out of five stars and the album "only for the most die-hard genre purists; the addition of an 11-track live set recorded at Chicago's Cabaret Metro in 2003 might entice hardcore fans who already have the songs on disc one, which makes its muddy sound (Powell's vocals are largely inaudible, and not in the way that vocals are usually buried in the mix in this style of music) and sloppy performances something of an insult."[1]
