Jurek said it had "a whopping four CDs and one DVD." Jurek noted that discs one and two "feature tracks from Reign in Blood, and all the albums that proceed from it, and includes bonus cuts previously only released in Japan, and cuts from soundtracks." He also said that the third disc "is, appropriately, titled 'Shit You Never Heard' because that's what it is β sixteen tracks that have been unissued anywhere β from rehearsals, to in-concert recordings, demos, and one 'No Remorse,' a collaboration with Atari Teenage Riot, from the Spawn soundtrack," and that the fourth disc are "an electronic [[press kit]] video for Diabolus in Musica, and an appearance at the Kerrang magazine awards."<ref name="allmusic"/> Adrien Begrand from [[PopMatters]] favoured the album, lauding the packaging but stating that "like any other CD box set that has come out in recent years, the band seems torn about whom to appeal to, longtime fans, or newcomers."<ref name="popmatters"/> Begrand noted that the first disc "is especially great, as it captures Slayer at the peak of their career, starting with the classic 1986 album ''[[Reign in Blood]]''."<ref name="popmatters">Begrand, Adrien (2004-01-23).
