Brian Mansfield of AllMusic says, "what makes Collection interesting is early versions of "One of Those Things" and "Maybe It Was Memphis" as well as a version of "Five Minutes," later a hit for Lorrie Morgan."[1]

Alanna Nash of EW writes, "What a difference a new producer makes! Warner Bros. spent five years of the '80s trying to do what Arista then did in one, which is make Mel's little girl a star. Here's Pam Tillis Collection (Warner Bros.), the best of what she recorded before leaving for her current label."[2]

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe remarks, "It has to be frustrating for a label to see an artist that they never had success with go on to another label in town and become a big star right off the bat."[3]

Occasional Hope of My Kind of Country writes, "It is hard to see why these early versions of the atmospheric "Maybe It Was Memphis" (a bit more understated than the hit) and the beautifully resigned melancholy of Pam's own "One of Those Things" (which was to become one of my favorite Pam Tillis singles – and I think I like this version even more) were not successful at the time."[4]
