Det bästa från Idol 2004

decided to release an album with the eleven finalists from Idol 2004 on 17 November 2004, already before the contest was over and a winner had been named. The record label stated that not everyone would favour the eventual winner, but savour other contestants. Among others, the compilation album was promoted with shopping mall concerts; 6,800 fans showed up at in Huddinge.
According to the Swedish Recording Industry Association, Det bästa från Idol 2004 was the 19th highest-selling album in Sweden in 2004, and the 4th highest-selling album by various artists.

Reception

Sydsvenskan gave the album a score of 3, reckoning that two of the musical highlights from the television show translated well to the record: "Danin Zanyar sings Toni Braxton's
'Un-Break My Heart' and Nathalie Schmeikal does Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' so the hair on the arms stand up".
TT gave 2 stars. Starting with the observation that most contestants lacked the "charisma, class and voice" to become stars, the album would have benefitted if only Daniel Lindström, Cornelia Dahlgren and Darin Zanyar sang "almost all the song". The "large majority should begin to prepare themselves on their fifteen minutes in the limelight having passed".
The lowest score of 1 was given by several press outlets. Svenska Dagbladet wrote that the album was "revelating" of the low musical level and "mediocre vocal talent" found within Idol. Arbetarbladet criticized the "low budget production", reminiscient of karaoke bar music, and called the album "trash" and "incredibly lousy". Västerbottens Folkblad called it "hastily thrown-together soup" with a "plastic" musical backing. Piteå-Tidningen called the cover versions "watery", and the album "not more exciting than 's average cassette with car stereo hits from the early 80s".
