• Game Revolution - Reviewed by Johnny Liu, [B-]. "A solid collection that is worth a look, provided the price is right."
• GameZone - Reviewed by The Badger, [8.5/10]. "Think of the Arc the Lad Collection as a well loved trilogy of your choice - but instead you have the good fortune to play it all at once instead of waiting years for the series to complete. Then add a couple spin-offs and the ever important behind the scenes looks."
• Gaming Age - Reviewed by Alex Makar, [B]. "Even if you’ve never played a strategy RPG in your life, Arc the Lad is the perfect starting point: it’s not overly difficult, it features an easy-to-use battle interface, and the variety of gameplay increases with each chapter in the series."
• My Gamer - Reviewed by Mark Buckingham, [7.2/10]. "Despite the limited appeal of Arc Arena and personal hang-ups with the story and lack of character depth in Arc II, when combined into one package, this series shines as a high-watermark for the RPG genre."
