Critical reception
The review in the June 22, 1968 issue of Billboard said, "A powerful package. Contains the biggest hits of this great artist. Included are "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'", "Dear Uncle Sam", "You Ain't Woman Enough" and others. Will move right up the charts."
Cashbox also published a review in the June 22 issue. The review said, "From a purely commercial standpoint, this collection of Loretta Lynn giants is destined for a powerhouse reaction from consumers. From the beginning of it all, "Success", to one of her more recent biggies, "If You're Not Gone Too Long", Loretta sings up her usual hurricane, and outdoes herself on a couple of monsters called "You Ain't Woman Enough" and "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'". This one may go through the roof."
Commercial performance The album peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot Country LP's chart. The album became Lynn's second album to receive a Gold certification by the RIAA, which is awarded to an album that has sold 500,000 copies or more.
