 "Dungeons & Dragons" became the best-selling role-playing game soundtrack ever in its first month of release, and Leonard Pickel of "Haunted Attraction Magazine" claimed that the album helped spread the band's popularity to Europe where "Halloween and Haunted Attractions are just beginning to take hold".The album was criticized by Marc Shayed, of the hobby gaming news site GamingReport.com, for focusing too much on combat and ambiance.He explained that there was only one track that felt triumphant ("City of Sails") and no tracks suitable for traveling or character "down time", which are standards in fantasy gaming.
