Wartella -directed music videos for ” Let’s Shake Hands ” and ” Apple Blossom ” were released simultaneously. AllMusic’s Heather Phares wrote: ” The White Stripes Greatest Hits is filled with the same detail, wit, and willingness to subvert expectations that made the band so dynamic when they were active … the collection’s hand-curated feel is much more personal than the average best-of or streaming play list.” The New Yorker ‘ s Amanda Petrusich called the album “a good reminder of how odd and inventive the band was … It feels old-fashioned, even deliberately so, but it sounds awfully good.”
