Critical reception
Combo Panda received positive reviews from critics and audiences, praising the animation, premise, tone, and voice acting. It currently has a 7.2/10 on IMDb and a 7.8/10 on TV.com. The Kawa Times writer Emmanuel Carvallo gave the show a 3.9 out of 5 stars, writing "Animated series revolving a video game fanatic panda does an impressive job with crafting with the story, even if it tries to look edgy at times."

Criticism and controversy
Despite the positive reviews the show had, the episode "The Worst Camping Trip Ever!" spawned a major controversy when it first aired, receiving many complaints from parents due to one scene where Peck and Daniel got punch by a zombie in the corner, causing the Daniel to say "you son of a b****" but Peck grabbed Daniel's lips to silence him before he could say the last word entirely. One viewer said, "I'm just confused... I mean... how did they get away with adding that swear word in the episode? Sure, he didn't say the whole all the way, but it's still rather inappropriate for a kids show." The episode was also controversial due to a disturbing scene where one of the campers' head get chopped off when he used the pickaxe the wrong way trying to chop down the tree, even though there was no gore. Jetix decided not to air the episode after that, resulting to the episode being banned until 2010 when it aired on Disney XD with the controversial scenes being cut from the episode.
