Allmusic wrote "While not a perfectly well-rounded retrospective, Major Pain 2 Indee Freedom: The Best of Hed P.E. does a good job summarizing (hed) p.e.’s recordings for Suburban Noize".[1] Kik Axe Music called the retrospective "a love letter to longtime listeners [that] just might bring some new ones into the fold as well."[5]
