Keren Ann Zeidel told Winter Miller of the New York Times: "'Best of Philip Glass' … is some of his more accessible stuff. Hopefully you'll go crazy for him and listen to it all. He is a giant. I don't think any rock band or songwriter brings the kind of innovation to the contemporary music landscape that he does. He created emotion in repetition. … I know the songs on this record from their original recordings, but it's important to know Philip Glass and his oeuvre" ("Playlist," 5/6/07).
