AllMusic[2]
The Independent[3]

Upon release, Mark Deming of AllMusic described MacColl's songwriting as "witty, disarmingly honest, eclectic, and adventurous", and added: "All I Ever Wanted is a suitably thorough and tremendously entertaining look at an artist who left behind a small but impressive legacy."[2] The compilation was also included on AllMusic's "Favorite Compilations" list as part of their "Best of 2014".[4] Andy Gill of The Independent considered MacColl "[the] most English of talents" and noted her "winning blend of strength and fragility, vocally and lyrically".[3]
