Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote in an AllMusic review that it "effectively compiles all of the highlights from Creedence Clearwater Revival's career that weren't on the first volume", as it includes album only tracks, he concludes in his review by stating that "Chronicle, Vol. 2 is an ideal choice for listeners who want a little more than the hits, but are unwilling to delve into the albums proper."[3]
