ign's jesse schedeen gave "constantine" #5 a 6.5 out of 10, feeling that "this issue doesn't seem to have much to add to the larger "trinity war" picture," and that "ray fawkes sets up the next storyline for this series, certainly, but there's little tangible impact on "trinity war"." comic book resources' jennifer cheng gave the issue 0.5 stars out of 5, stating the issue "exhibits all the worst flaws of "tie-ins" or "interludes" for crossover event books [and] adds nothing to the big event and is almost useless to the ongoing title."
