"Adam Arsenau of "DVD Verdict" stated "The most satisfying part of "Wayside" is how the show feels perfectly balanced—it has enough wacky antics and bizarre events to satisfy young audiences, enough logical fallacies and defiant attitudes to amuse middle-aged kids, and enough clever and sardonic wit to please adults fortunate enough to find themselves in front of a television set while the show is playing," concluding that "Wayside" was "the perfect cartoon adventure for families of all ages."
