Ron Wynn of Allmusic gave a 4.5 out of five stars rating and wrote "If you enjoyed their disco and late '70s cuts more than the early tracks, this anthology is worth getting".[5] Ben Varkentine of Popmatters found that "Earth, Wind & Fire Vol. II can't be reviewed so much as announced. If you want this CD, you know what at least some of it sounds like, if not, you don't."[6]David Browne of the New York Daily News exclaimed "Not as solid as Vol. I, but separates the wheat from the chaff of their later albums. 'After the Love Is Gone' and 'Boogie Wonderland' are here, but last year's comeback, 'System of Survival' isn't.[9] With an A- grade Robert Christgau of the Village Voice described the album as "some slick, soulful fun".[7]
