He said that the cleaning and remastering has produced an "excellent" sound, and he described the compilation as "All killer, no filler". In a review in PopMatters, Maria Schurr called '68 "especially edifying to Soft Machine die-hards", and a "great ... lost musical treasure". Rolling Stone called the album "By far one of the year's best releases".
