The season received mixed to positive reviews from media critics. In a DVD review, Paul Mavis of DVD Talk "highly recommended" the set, saying "[The season has a shaky start], but the laughs definitely pick up on the second disc."<ref name=SV1/> In particular, Mavis praised the episode "The Splinter" as "one of the very best ''SpongeBob'' [episodes]," while "Slide Whistle Stooges", "Boating Buddies", and "The Slumber Party" were described by Mavis as "''SpongeBob'' season's best offerings."<ref name=SV1/> In a separate review for the "Volume 2" DVD, Mavis only "recommended" it.<ref name=SV2/> He said that the episodes, including "Choir Boys", "Pet or Pests", "Overbooked", "Shell Shocked", "Komputer Overload", "Chum Bucket Supreme", and "Single Cell Anniversary" are "solid entries" and "all deliver steady laughs", but has doubts that "they're on a par with series' best entries like 'The Splinter', 'Slide Whistle Stooges', 'Boating Buddies', and 'The Slumber Party'."<ref name=SV2/>

In a DVD review for the individual episode DVD release ''Spongicus'', Roy Hrab of DVD Verdict gave this season a negative review and said that "In my previous ''SpongeBob'' reviews I have commented that series has lost its edge. This offering does nothing to change my opinion. But what the heck do I know? Clearly, the show continues to maintain a large following and the franchise is a license to print money for Nickelodeon."<ref name=Hrab>{{#invoke:cite|web|last=Hrab|first=Roy|title=SpongeBob SquarePants: Spongicus|url=http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/spongicus.php|publisher=DVD Verdict|access-date=December 26, 2013|date=April 9, 2009}}</ref> The DVD consists of eight episodes and praised the episodes "Not Normal" and "Gone" by describing them "the best episode on the disc" and "a decent episode", respectively.<ref name=Hrab/> Also from DVD Verdict, Gordon Sullivan, on the DVD release ''To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants'', said that "[it is] a solid collection of ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episodes."<ref name=Sullivan>{{#invoke:cite|web|last=Sullivan|first=Gordon|title=SpongeBob SquarePants: To SquarePants Or Not To SquarePants|url=http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/nottosquarepants.php|publisher=DVD Verdict|access-date=December 26, 2013|date=July 17, 2009}}</ref> He added that "My only serious problem with this set is that it's only eight episodes long; a more complete season-style release would be more efficient. On the technical front everything is fine, with the bright, solid colors of Bikini Bottom shining through clearly and all the dialogue and effects clear and detailed."<ref name=Sullivan/> Sullivan gave the episodes "The Splinter", "Slide Whistle Stooges", and "The Krabby Kronicle" an 8/10 rating, while "Boating Buddies" received the lowest rating with 3/10.<ref name=Sullivan/>
