In July 2016, forty years after Ochs' death, pop artist Lady Gaga performed a rendition of numerous folk songs for a free concert event for the Democratic National Convention. Gaga included Ochs' song "The War is Over" after calling out to the crowd, "Does anybody know who Phil Ochs is?"

Awards and Acclaim
Ochs' daughter Meegan Lee Ochs was nominated for a for an award at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards in 1997. She was nominated in the category of Best Album Notes but lost to Anthology of American Folk Music - 1997 Expanded Edition. 

Steve Hochman, of the LA Times, rated the album with three and a half stars out of four. He cites the album as a "personal testament" to Ochs himself, saying "[his] body of work is perhaps the most accurate artifact of the idealism that carried young America from the death of John F. Kennedy through Watergate."

5 years after the compilation's release, Keith Phipps, a writer for the online magazine The A.V. Club, glowingly reviewed the album saying "If there's a major flaw in the set, it's that, even at 53 tracks, there's simply not enough of it".
