The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century Music questioned if the compilation was truly representative of women in the music industry. The authors noted that the album's focus on female vocalists from the UK and US meant a lack of representation for international artists, as well as for women in instrumental support, songwriting and production roles.[3] Ken Banks of Aberdeen Press and Journal gave the compilation two out of five stars, concluding: "Value, perhaps, but pretty crudely thrown together and nothing special at all."[4] Clark Collis of The Daily Telegraph called it a "cash-in of unprecedented proportions," but given the "demented mixture of artists" decided that the album was "simply too weird a project to criticise."[2]
Commercial performanceedit
The album peaked at number two on the UK Compilation Chart,[5] and peaked at number eight on the overall UK albums chart as compiled by Billboard.[6][a]
