Review by Andy Kellman from allmusic.com:
Since Relics is a compilation and not a regular studio album, it tends to be overlooked when thought of as one of Pink Floyd's better releases. It might not be regarded as a classic psychedelic masterpiece in the manner of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and it certainly won't ever achieve the multiple platinum status of Dark Side of the Moon, but it's a pretty good place to start with the band's early catalog. Originally issued in 1971, Relics culls from the band's first five singles (two A-sides and three B-sides, including the non-album pop classics "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne") and picks album material that capitalizes on the band's versatility while making it a thoroughly palatable listen. From Piper, you get the goofy childishness of "Bike" and the mesmerizing "Interstellar Overdrive," one of the band's trademark instrumental freak-outs; "The Nile Song," taken from the More soundtrack, is one of the heaviest songs the band recorded. A little bit of everything that made early Pink Floyd can be found here. Without a doubt, the disc is an essential part of the band's discography, not to be disregarded due to its overlap with studio album material.
Relics was more than a "greatest hits"/compilation LP, but was a welcome addition to the group's late 1960s repertoire, containing songs never before heard by American audiences. The album included the previously unreleased gem "Biding My Time" as well as British B-side singles such as "Paintbox" and "Julia Dream," as well as "Arnold Layne" (an A-side single in the UK only). Most US fans had only heard "Careful Of That Axe, Eugene" in its live form on the LP, Ummagumma.
