In an AllMusic review, Jose F. Promis says "Shout: The Very Best of Tears for Fears provides an excellent overview of the band's key tracks" with the set improving upon their previous compilation (1992's Tears Roll Down) by including an additional five tracks. He concludes by stating it "stands as the definitive Tears for Fears collection".[1]
Ben Varkentine of PopMatters says "this one scores above it's predecessors by including the rare single 'The Way You Are', which bridged their first two albums" and also believes "this is the most definitive to date."[2]
