AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four and a half stars out of five, stating "Solo Collection performs a welcome service by collecting the highlights from his decidedly uneven solo albums, including all of his biggest hits. Not only is it a perfect introduction, it's arguably the most consistent solo record Frey ever released."{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r212767/review|first=Stephen Thomas|last=Erlewine|label=Solo Collection}}
The album did not chart in its initial 1995 release, but reached number 82 on the U.S. Billboard 200 in 2016 after Frey's death.{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/2016-02-06|title=Billboard 200: February 6, 2011 |work=Billboard}}
