Mark Richard-San of Pitchfork Media, while describing the original "Teenage Dream" track as "great" and stating that it "sums up everything that makes the band interesting in a single seven-minute track", was lukewarm about the album. In his view: "Some of the mixes are decent, but most are average, at best," and he described the album as "one (great) new track and eight (okay) remixes". Heather Phares of Allmusic gave the album a three-star review, saying: "Though not all of the six other mixes of the song are illuminating, several of them are enjoyable". Geoff Stahl of PopMatters viewed the album similarly, stating: "There are versions here that close-in on interesting, but with a grating guitar riff which seems a bit to power-chordish for our own good, so that most of the remixes that dwell on it seem more disabled by rather than inspired," and finding the remixes of "Can't You Even Remember That?" "the most pleasing ones on offer".
