Rolling Stone 5/5 stars[7]

For his review of Chronicle for Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that the album was suitably compiled, but does not like how the Compact Disc reissue had the full-length version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" because it does not fit with the other songs on the album.[4] The Blender review called Chronicle, Vol. 1 the best compilation album by Creedence Clearwater Revival.[5] Robert Christgau called the album a good starting-point for Creedence fans.[6][7]
