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, release and/or reception:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
