Allmusic.com gave the U.S. release a 3 star review:
The Byrds were talented and prolific interpreters of Dylan’s music, as this compilation shows. But in spite of the great music here, it serves no useful purpose as an introduction to the group, since it ignores their original compositions and skillful renderings of other writers’ songs.
