Critics have praised the movie for its exciting action sequences and the way it effectively builds on the established story arcs from the Digimon Adventure 02 series.

Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official aggregated score for this film, but fan reviews highlight the emotional stakes and nostalgic value as strong points.
