TrekWeb's Steve Krutzler gave the set 5/5 stars in our full review:

"Put simply, this is the finest STAR TREK DVD release since 2001’s THE MOTION PICTURE – Director’s Edition," Krutzler writes. "There’s no doubt that this is a fine addition to anyone’s collection and an excellent model for both future DVD releases and future STAR TREK movies."

Meanwhile, Bill Hunt at The Digital Bits was equally impressed, writing, "I'm gonna say it right now: this is the first one of these Trek film special editions that I've really, thoroughly enjoyed since The Motion Picture. Paramount has a formula for these things, which is to do lots of featurettes. And that's fine... provided you do them right. Finally, they've done them right!"

Hunt goes on to say that the DVD extras on this set are quite impressive: "Disc Two includes a whole mess of them, and darned if they aren't well done in terms of both content AND production quality! Someone was obviously listening to those many of us who reviewed the previous collector's editions, and bemoaned the amateurish production values while praising the material contained therein."

Peter M. Bracke at DVD File has published his review, again lavishing praise on the improved DVD extras.

"While the transfer and 5.1 remix are nice, where this new two-disc set really shines is in the extras," says Bracke. "Spread across two discs, the material here is a step up over the rather abysmal quality of the video-based extras on the Trek II and Trek III special edition DVDs. With a new production team behind this set, the extras here are spiffier, better shot and more varied."
