Michael Sutton of Allmusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, saying: This compilation shows that in the '80s Pseudo Echo was able to combine dance music and rock & roll as deftly as its Australian peers in INXS. Singer Brian Canham may not have had the snake-like charm of INXS' Michael Hutchence, but his brooding voice makes these songs sound more mysterious than they normally would. The lyrics are often superficial and repetitive; however, the hooks are dynamite. Pseudo Echo just wanted to get bodies gyrating, and Long Plays 83-87 offers the perfect way to get into the groove.

The present album offers a scintillating sampling of a recording career that spanned a quarter of a century. It contains virtually all the highlights – the discs that young people had to have in their collections in ’35 to ’44 to be “in.” Marie: the Irving Berlin ballad in the swinging arrangement which was requested so frequently between ’37 and ’40 that it became a hangup with Tommy and vocalist Jack Leonard. To succeed the latter, Frankie Boy had to demonstrate that he could handle the vocal as deftly as Leonard had. The Lady Is a Tramp: a Clambake Seven favorite that displayed Tommy’s uptempo, driving style, though his originality lay in the handling of slow ballads – creating moonlight moods without sacrificing danceability. Song of India: played in the famous arrangement that featured Tommy’s far-off, silver-toned trombone.

Ultimately, Trumbore wrote that while "Adventure Time: Islands succeeds in every aspect the series has become known for," it also "comes up short in familiar ways ... Unfortunately, the style (and the duration) of Adventure Time episodes works against ... delving into [the show's] mythology ... so we'll just have to obsess over whatever glimpses we get and settle for watching this series again and again." In a highly complimentary review for The New Republic, Juliet Kleber wrote that "Islands does a dizzying amount of plot development in 80-something minutes." Furthermore, she argued that "Finn's coming-of-age story and the exploration of the post-apocalyptic plotline" as featured in the miniseries "are handled just as deftly as any other subject—with fun and a tinge of sorrow." Zach Blumenfeld of Paste Magazine gave Islands a slightly more mixed, albeit still positive, review.

This included tricks in which she had previously played the role of his assistant, but in which she now had an assistant of her own.Toowoomba Chronicle and Darling Downs General Advertiser, 24 Nov 1900, page 3 “Every trick he ever turned I duplicated, perhaps not as deftly as he did, but I did them all the same, and…the critics said I did well,” she recalled.
