Critical reception edit
Playlist: The Very Best of Brad Paisley received three stars out of five from Al Campbell of Allmusic. Campbell wrote that the album "focuses on several of the singer's chart entries recorded between 1999 and 2002," lamenting that singles such as "I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)" and "I Wish You'd Stay" were omitted.[1] An uncredited review from Country Weekly gave the album three and a half stars out of five. The author wrote that "hiding in this unassuming package alongside a handful of actual hits […] are genuine treats for die-hard Paisley partiers."[2]
