Allmusic.com gave Hot Rocks a 4 1/2 star review:
This two-LP set is both a lot more and a bit less than what it seems. It is seven years’ worth of mostly very high-charting — and all influential and important — songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of the Rolling Stones’ hits but of their evolving image. One hears them change from loud R&B-inspired rockers covering others’ songs (“Time Is on My Side”) into originators in their own right (“Satisfaction”); then into tastemakers and style-setters with a particularly decadent air (“Get Off of My Cloud,” “19th Nervous Breakdown”), and finally into self-actualized rebel-poets (“Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Midnight Rambler”) and Shaman-like symbols of chaos. …This is an exciting assembly of material.
