In a 2005 review of Armin van Buuren's second studio album, Shivers, BBC Music reviewer Jack Smith noted that "we'll discount 2003's 76 [van Buuren's debut] as that would be like saying Sasha's first full-length album was The Qat Collection". Dorian Lynskey from The Guardian cited the album as his debut, writing that "he released [his debut album] in 1994, the underwhelming Qat Collection, but that has been erased, Stalin-style, from his history".
