Critical reception James Christopher Monger of Allmusic remarked that ''Wrecktrospective'' "sums up the record company’s devotion to all things punk, as in classic, pop, and skatepunk, alternative folk, post-punk, and screamo. A decent balance of the old guard and the new (from the Descendents to Against Me!) keeps things fresh and fun, while the relative brevity of punk songs in general makes for a truly stocked jukebox of high-energy, high-quality, classically minded modern punk."
