Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "This greatest hits album, which came out two days before the release of Agent J, and it is the third time Jolin's new and old labels have clashed. It is not just a collection of old hits, but almost all of the music works released by Sony, so it seems that this greatest hits album is more like a big compilation, and the most surprising is that three CDs and one music video DVD are only sold for one record's price. Unfortunately, the frequent release of old works made music fans lose freshness, so this greatest hits album was not as popular as J-Top, and ultimately just a flash in the pan."^[17]

Sina Music's Stephen Lee commented: "To be fair, Final Wonderland is either very attractive or not very attractive. Why? Because Sony BMG had already released J-Top, a collection of her old songs, to compete Jolin's Dancing Diva in the last year. What's so appealing about this new greatest hits album if another one was released last year and the tracks are basically the same? However, if you didn't buy last year's J-Top or Jolin's old albums released in the past by Sony, this Final Wonderland should be your good choice, after all, the album includes Jolin's 40–50 old songs and music videos, it can be said to be "great value for money". In addition, some of Jolin's recent hits such as "Magic", "36 Tricks of Love", "J-Game", "Say Love you" and "Pirates" are all included in this album, if you want to look back on the diva's journey of Jolin, this album can be used for you."^[18]
