PopMatters

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic believes The Definitive Collection "surpasses any previous Edgar Winter collection by providing 30 tracks recorded between 1972 and 1981."

PopMatters says "The Definitive Collection takes great efforts to improve on greatest hits packages of yore by putting literally everything in one place, going through his discography in chronological order and cherry-picking hits and quirks along the way, doing what it can to best concise packages".
