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:
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
