The Albums 2000–2010 marked Minogue's first box set collection until her October 2012 release, K25: Time Capsule.

[8] The set includes every previous studio album Minogue had released from 2000 up until 2010; the original versions of Light Years (2000), Fever (2001), Body Language (2003), X (2007), and Aphrodite (2010), with each disc housed in a cardboard sleeve.

"[18] Jon O'Brien from AllMusic awarded the album three-and-a-half stars, labelling her earlier work as "infectious".

Despite being critical towards the lack of inclusion of her 1994–1998 Deconstruction work, and the inclusion of her albums, X, and Aphrodite, he concluded "Kylie has yet to make that one essential album, and the going-through-the-motions nature of her later releases suggests her time may have passed, but this box set still contains plenty of moments to justify her position as one of the all-time premier pop princesses.

[17] British journalist Paul Du Noyer reviewed the box set, and complimented Minogue's Parlophone work as "ambiguous pop".

Not even her experience of breast cancer was allowed to surface in Kylie’s subsequent material: lyrically, it was straight back to business.
