AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann rated The Doors Classics with two out of five stars in his review of the compilation album, formulating:^[2]

It's hard to say what the rationale was for this compilation of miscellaneous, previously released Doors tracks, except of course that the group was very hot in the mid-'80s and just about anything by them would sell. Or resell, as the case may be.^[2]
