Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic said the album "covers much of the same ground as 2009's The Singles Collection but does take into account 2011's Femme Fatale, adding "Till the World Ends" and "Hold It Against Me." What was cut from Singles is generally not missed, as the big songs are here—"Baby One More Time," "You Drive Me Crazy," "Oops...I Did It Again," "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Toxic"—making this arguably a preferable comp to its full-price predecessor."[2]
It debuted at number 111 on the Billboard 200 on the week of December 8, 2012 with 11,000 copies.[3][4] That week the album was priced for $1.99 at some retailers for a limited time. However, as the set was less than four weeks old, those sales were not counted, per Billboard's pricing policy, which didn't affect other albums from the Playlist series, such as Playlist: The Very Best of Destiny's Child, which were older.[5]
