Critical reception

The album received generally positive reviews upon release. Both Chris Nickon of AllMusic and Deanne Sole of PopMatters noted the use of the word "café". Nickson described the title as somewhat of a "misnomer" and the compilation instead as "an introduction to Greek music, and a very good one" showing that Greek music is "richly alive".[2] Sole wrote that the compiler "favours forward movement", that "hardness is allowed", and that if it is indeed a "café" soundtrack, it is one "for mobs of 19th-century European aesthetes".[3]
