Viktor Coble listed the entire ''Power'' series - including ''Martial Power'', ''Martial Power 2'', ''Divine Power'', ''Arcane Power'', ''Psionic Power'', and ''Primal Power'' - as #2 on ''CBR''<nowiki/>'s 2021 "D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks" list, stating that "What sets the power series apart – besides their updated rules – is how they translate really well to 5e. Whereas, the "Complete" series needs a little more work. The rules have both been pared down and expanded upon in this guide, which makes picking up a copy for whatever type of character is most in favor worth it."<ref name="cbr">{{Cite web|last=Coble|first=Viktor|date=2021-12-17|title=D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks|url=https://www.cbr.com/dd-best-supplemental-handbooks/|access-date=2022-04-28|website=CBR|language=en-US}}</ref>
