Reception

  • Nicholas Breard of DVDSeries.net, in a review of this DVD, called it "A product quickly done well, but no more. Just history to find the delusions of SpongeBob and his friends for nearly 90 minutes."[1]
  • Todd Douglass Jr. of DVD Talk praised the episodes featured. "Whether or not you will enjoy this release depends solely on what kind of viewer you are." He also said that the clips featured "pale in comparison to the episodes themselves."[2]

  • "All That Glitters" comes first before "Whale of a Birthday" on this DVD despite the latter being the basis of this DVD.

  • The DVD description for "Wigstruck" shown on the back cover states that SpongeBob found a wig in the trash. But in the actual episode, it was flying through the air smacking him in the face.
