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 steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
