Jamie Lovett of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' gave the series a grade of 4 out of 5, saying, "These six ''Tales of the Jedi'' are beautiful, moving, and deceptively layered for their brevity while packing a few surprises and jaw-dropping moments along the way. Lucasfilm Animation managed to squeeze a lot of ''Star Wars'' magic into these shorts, and viewers will only be disappointed that there aren't more of them."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Review: Star Wars at Its Moody Best |url=https://comicbook.com/starwars/news/star-wars-tales-of-the-jedi-review-streaming-reaction-animation-disney-plus/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221104193146/https://comicbook.com/starwars/news/star-wars-tales-of-the-jedi-review-streaming-reaction-animation-disney-plus/ |archive-date=November 4, 2022 |access-date=October 26, 2022 |work=[[ComicBook.com]]}}</ref> Alex Stedman of ''[[IGN]]'' gave the series a grade of 8 out of 10, writing, "''Tales of the Jedi'' is a strong, tightly written showcase for two important characters in ''Star Wars'' lore: Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. Dooku in particular gets a good amount of meat added to his character’s bones, while the other episodes feature a welcome look into Ahsoka at different points in her life. It’s moody and methodical at times, while still managing to weave in some beautifully animated action. It may not be absolutely vital ''Star Wars'' content, but there are certainly worse ways to revisit these characters before Ahsoka gets her own series."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Stedman |first=Alex |date=October 26, 2022 |title=Tales of the Jedi Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/tales-of-the-jedi-review |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221212223806/https://www.ign.com/articles/tales-of-the-jedi-review |archive-date=December 12, 2022 |access-date=October 29, 2022 |website=[[IGN]]}}</ref>
