Reception
- Paul Mavis of the DVD Talk said in a review of it, that "[This] is yet another outstanding collection of superior SpongeBob cartoons, with not one loser in the bunch."[2]
- Nicholas Breard of DVDSeries.net, in a review of it, said that "Neither exceptional nor bad, this DVD will allow you to find your favorite characters for 7 adventures and nearly 90 minutes of marine madness."[3]
- DVD-Forum.at, in a review of it, said that "Fans of the series can strike quite well due to the very low price and the successful content."[4]
- Currently retired critic David Packard of the DVD Verdict, called the DVD "a fun, albeit small, collection of largely-solid episodes. If you've burned through Seasons One through Four and just can't wait until season five hits DVD, you'd do well to check into this one."[5]

- The DVD includes short previews for other Nickelodeon DVDs. These include older SpongeBob DVDs, Shrek the Third, Avatar: The Last Airbender DVDs, Nick Picks DVDs, The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, and Zoey 101: The Complete 1st Season DVD.
- Unlike the episode title, the DVD has the question mark on the end.
- "The Original Fry Cook," "Night Light," "Fungus Among Us," and "Spy Buddies" were all released on this DVD before premiering on American television.
- This is the first SpongeBob DVD for two things:
- The first single SpongeBob DVD since The Seascape Capers to have the full "Nickelodeon" text on the front cover instead of just "Nick."
- The first DVD to include season 5 episodes.
- Advertisements in this DVD case are also advertisements for Nickelodeon DVDs for SpongeBob SquarePants: Season 4 Volume 1 and Season 4 Volume 2, The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 2: Earth, Volume 1 & Book 2: Earth, Volume 2 on DVD, Zoey 101: Season 1 on DVD. On the other side is an ad for SpongeBob books.

- This DVD was re-released on September 25, 2012 along with The Seascape Capers, SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis, SpongeBob's Pest of the West, and SpongeBob vs. The Big One as part of The SpongeBob Super Square Collection.
- The Polish version of this DVD has reversed "The Original Fry Cook" with "Night Light" and "Rise and Shine" with "Waiting."
- In Croatia, this DVD is titled "Klještić protiv Planktona," which translates to "Krabs vs. Plankton." This is also the name of an episode.
- Despite this title, that episode is not on this DVD.
- Although they are related to the titular episode, "Can't Swim," "Remodeling," and "Loop dee Loop" are not on this DVD.
