The purpose of the show is best described by the narrator in the introduction: "Witnesses around the world report seeing monsters. Are they real or imaginary? Science searches for answers...on Monster Quest."

Most critical reviews of Monster Quest pertain to the season one DVD set which was released as a 4 DVD boxed collection on May 27, 2008.

Rich Rosell of Digitally Obsessed gave it a "B-", saying, "The good news is that this isn't a trashy reality show, eager to make everything overblown and sinister. Instead, it takes a seemingly well-researched approach, leaving viewers the opportunity to make up their own minds." He also believed that the "content is certainly nerd-worthy in an I-want-to-believe/Mulder kind of way".

Cinematic Happenings Under Development (CHUD) gave the show a 5.9 out of 10 review, stating the show is "basically a rehashing of the 1970s / 1980s TV show, In Search Of" and "it leaves you with a sense of either 'been there, done that' or just a feeling of incompleteness because it basically raises as many questions as it tries to answer."
