DVD-Forum.at called this a DVD with "not interesting specials for the creation of the series but rather entertaining features," while also being surprised with the addition of special features, "unlike most other SpongeBob DVDs."[4]
Critic Erich Asperschlager of DVD Verdict called the episodes "89 minutes of undersea goodness," despite comparing the DVD release, with the release of a complete season 6 set. He also called the extras "fine," while also praising the video and audio quality.[5]
