The album charted at number 70 on the ARIA Charts. Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[2] }} Adrian Zupp from AllMusic said Dragon were "a hell of a good one when they put their minds to it", adding "in the studio... they crafted some great music. Snake Eyes on the Paradise captures the best of it. A 21-track set, this disc offers excellent coverage of the band's recording history and varying lineups while placing emphasis on their peak period from the 1970s and their renaissance in the early 1980s. The early stuff in particular -- April Sun in Cuba, Are You Old Enough?, Still in Love With You, et al is {{sic|comprised |hide=y|of}} prototypical singalong, but like all of the material here, it's memorable without being simplistic or 'disposable'; you know you're listening to a band that can both write and play with aplomb." Zupp added, "The melodies are ear-grabbing, the hooks sharp, and the musicianship tight as a noose. This disc is a superb tribute to a band that was as unique as it was inherently troubled, a document of a skilled and passionate group that swaggered its way into the folklore of down under rock. Released just after the passing of charis-nihilistic frontman Marc Hunter in 1998 -- the third member of the band to die before his time -- Snake Eyes has a haunting poignancy. From the days when artistic integrity and radio-readiness weren't mutually exclusive, this one recommends itself."[2] Track listing[3]
