According to the ARIA report writer, "At last!! An album all 43, yes 43 of T.I.S.M.’s (This Is Serious Mum) GREATEST hits. Included in the masked one’s Best Off album include such family classics as 'Defecate on My Face, Greg!' 'The Stop Sign', 'All Homeboys Are Dickheads', 'The Phillip Ruddock Blues', 'The Ballad of the Semitic Nazi' and everyone’s fave '(He’ll Never Be An) O’l Man River' (#23, June '95). Essential listening for those who require deep, thought provoking music!!" Beat magazine's Bronius Zumeris opined that "Offbeat wit and profanity litter their work" while "Cynics argue that they are a puerile, one joke band trying to flog a dying horse" and the collection "is not a flawless appraisal of their 15 odd years of cultural/musical terror. But it does collate much of the essential TISM for the consumer society."
The disc is a collection of TISM favourites from throughout their career and a few rare tracks which have become live fan favourites, such as "Death, Death, Death". Also on the disc are previously unreleased tracks, "Sid Viscous" and "The Phillip Ruddock Blues" (recorded in the De Rigueurmortis sessions) as well as a remix of " Defecate on My Face" by the Australian band, Machine Gun Fellatio.
