Upon Greatest Hits' release in October/November 2005, Greatest Hits peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 album chart. An edited version of Greatest Hits was released alongside the explicit version of the album on its original release date.
A previously unreleased track was included on the CD, a cover of The Only Ones’ "Another Girl, Another Planet". The song was used as the theme song to Barker's new reality TV show, Meet the Barkers. Also included was the previously issued "I Miss You" B-side and Blink-182 UK bonus track "Not Now". "Carousel" was not on the original track listing for the album, but after fan complaints it was included. Fans are known to have complained about the DVD footage, as all of it was included on previous releases - the live footage on The Urethra Chronicles II, and the behind the scenes footage on the first three singles from the Blink-182 album. The only exclusive video was "What's My Age Again?" (Live In Chicago), although the DVD menu credits it as the performance featured on The Urethra Chronicles from London in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or reception:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
