Critical reception
The A.V. Club 's Noel Murray graded the DVD release of the series' first 13 episodes a B+, writing that "[The Superb Misadventures of Nimbus] is a super-silly, semi-anarchic cartoon that is fun, wacky, and reminiscent of cartoons of the 90s and early 2000s. The show features such well-developed characters that the audience can relate to, and a genuine heart even as the plots themselves transition from well-worn TV tropes to all out madness." "Z." of GeekDad gave the first volume DVD a positive review; he praised the season for having "a very unique and funny cast that kids would love to see each day of the week."

Tyler Foster of DVD Talk gave the first season a lukewarm review. In reviewing the first DVD volume, he praised the visuals but felt the animation was "relatively simple, even when it's going exaggerated for a gag." Nancy Basile of About.com favored the episode "Super Nimbus & the Stick Wonder!" out of the first DVD volume; she praised the series as a "smart, fast-paced, hilarious cartoon."
