The sound of New Old Songs is predominantly based in hip hop music, in particular rap infused with rock music styles and culture.<ref name=Allmusic/> The album compiles remixes of songs from Three Dollar Bill, Y'all, Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. This album's remix of "Faith", a cover of the George Michael song, incorporates elements of David Bowie's song "Fame" and a newly recorded rap verse by Everlast.<ref name=Allmusic/>
Critical reception
Despite having no singles released, it achieved Gold certification by the RIAA in February 2002 in the US.<ref>Album artist 232 – Limp Bizkit</ref> The album peaked at #26 on the Billboard 200.<ref name=Charts>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> AllMusic writer Bradley Torreano panned the album, writing "Most of these songs could have even survived the remix if the choruses, which are an important part of the Bizkit formula, retained their massive riffing and awesome production."<ref name=Allmusic/> Torreano appraised three of the album's tracks: Fred Durst and Josh Abraham's remix of "Faith", DJ Premier's remix of "My Way" and Butch Vig's "Nookie" remix. Describing Vig's "Nookie" remix, Torreano said that it might be the album's best track, writing that it "sounds more like Fatboy Slim with its thick beat and dirty keyboard".<ref name=Allmusic/> The Rolling Stone Album Guide awarded the album two out of five stars.<ref name=RollingStoneAlbumGuide/> In The Essential Rock Discography, Martin Charles Strong gave the compilation a 5 out of 10 rating.<ref name=Strong/>
