Ian Martin from AllMusic gave the album three and a half out of five stars, stating that the first disc is "the most fun", the second disc is "seeming to be taking aim at courting a more mature (read: 'bland') image" and the third disc is "a curious collection of tracks that certainly adds variety to the compilation".{{cite web|last=Martin|first=Ian|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1679366|pure_url=yes}}|title=All the Best! 1999-2009 Review|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2010-06-05}} CDJournal gave the album a star for an exceptional work and praised the members vocal delivery.{{cite web |url=https://artist.cdjournal.com/d/arashi-5-10-all-the-best-1999---2009/4109062149 |title=ARASHI / ARASHI 5×10 All the BEST! 1999-2009 [2CD] |publisher=CD Journal |accessdate=2018-10-08 |language=ja}}
