Replay DVD was commended in reviews for the quality of the disc. "DVD Times" reports that ""Joking Apart" looks much sharper than the average television show on DVD. The colours are also much richer and have obviously been fixed throughout to present a more uniform image while the picture is bright and clear." The featurette on the series 1 set is labelled "a great little feature", with Moffat particularly praised for his contribution. "DVD Times" identifies "a real sense of friendship and of a real liking for this show" within the commentaries, highlighting that Moffat "sounds really happy ... for "Joking Apart" to have finally gotten some recognition".
