In the "Sarasota Herald-Tribune", Wade Tatengelo wrote, "Recorded during the same exciting period resulting in the acclaimed "One Way Out" double live album, "Cream Of The Crop" is now probably the best representation of the Allman Brothers' 2001 to 2014 lineup... It's 36 songs with no repeats clocking in at over five hours." In "Relix", Alan Paul said, "The Allman Brothers Band  only recorded one studio album, 2003's "Hittin' the Note", during their final lineup’s 13-year run. That's a shame for many reasons, not least of which is that, as their new archival release "Cream of the Crop 2003" quickly demonstrates, the group came alive when they had some new material... Avoiding any song repeats, the collection has the flow of a show, thanks to excellent selection and sequencing by supervising producer Warren Haynes." Track listing.
