The box set received mixed critical reception; R.L. Shaffer of IGN was critical in his review of it, calling the release was "a complete waste" and the bonus disc "roughly 80 minutes of mediocre entertainment".[11] He recommended fans purchase "the shows you like instead, and start in the proper place, with the first season."[11] He ultimately gave the release an eight out of ten, however, stating "while this set is certainly well rated" in its content, he could not "find a reason to recommend it".[12] Noel Murray of The A.V. Club expressed confusion over the selection of material, suggesting to the network to release a "straight-up Adult Swim best-of set with rarities".[13] DVD Verdict's Mac McEntire felt the set was not "good enough to warrant you re-buying them all", should buyers already own all six season volume releases.[4] He gave the release an 85 out of 100, remarking the pilots as showing "just how tough it must be to create a pilot, one that not only introduces characters and settings, but also promises a potential for weeks and perhaps years of additional stories."[4]
