Sul sito AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine scrisse: "[L'album] segue una sequenza strettamente cronologica, quindi ci vuole un po' di tempo prima che la foschia psichedelica si dissolvi e i Dead si sistemino nel solco squadrato e radicale che caratterizzò così gran parte della loro esistenza ... Da lì in poi, molti, ma non tutti, i cavalli di battaglia del gruppo sono presenti, tutti nelle loro incarnazioni in studio ... Celebrando i classici e fornendo spazio per quell'inaspettato ritorno commerciale della fine degli anni '80, The Best of the Grateful Dead è una buona capsula del tempo per una band che di solito sfida tali narrazioni convenzionali".[2]
