Both the regular and limited editions contain all of the band's singles from their debut single "Arashi" (1999) to "Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon (Kimi wa Muteki)" (2009), with the exception of Satoshi Ohno's solo single. A new song titled "5x10" was included with both editions. The song's lyrics were written by Arashi themselves to express their gratitude for their fans. The regular edition exclusively contains a hidden track titled "Attack It!"[5] while the limited edition exclusively contains a third disc of the band's selections and a premium booklet.

CDJournal

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".[6] CDJournal gave the album a star for an exceptional work and praised the members vocal delivery.[7]
