Cameron Adams from Herald Sun gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Kate Ceberano has been a proud, lifelong square peg - these 53 tracks the gloriously diverse proof of an increasingly rare kind of career. Her soulful '80s pop with I'm Talking hasn't dated, "Brave" showcases the in-house talent at Ceberano HQ, while disco/house gem "Love Dimension" may be her most underrated single. Even as Ceberano was busy charming the charts, she detoured into jazz and blues, still making dance and rock/pop and the epic Jesus Christ Superstar era. Anthology showcases her rampant song-writing, passionate covers and the fact you never know what's next."

Bernard Zuel from Sydney Morning Herald gave the album 2.5 out of 5 saying; "[Kate's] long, varied, mixed career is all here in a gargantuan triple-disc set. It begins with a "Pash", ends with a hymn and covers theatre, jazz, pop, dance(ish), duets and Christmas fare. It's impressive in its sweep and longevity, but the inadvertently telling absence of a central essay or even chronological written history in the packaging sums up the problem: it has been a career with no discernible pattern or solid beating heart that is purely her." adding "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is one of her best moments.
