Critical reception
Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "This album just contains remixes of some of Jolin Tsai's well-known old works released during the Universal period. The album was just a buffer to satisfy fans' expectation of Jolin Tsai who didn't release new song for two years due to the contractual dispute at that time. Unfortunately, the popularity of her dance songs released during the Universal period is not as high as those released during the Sony and EMI periods, and the number of dance songs released during Universal period is not that much. Therefore, in this album, in addition to some dance songs, we can also hear remixes of ballads which were hard re-arranged into dance music."[8]
