Reception to the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' was mixed, with most reviewers praising the book's details. However, some reviewers stated that the images were "blown up to show just how shoddy their design was in game".<ref>''Though I must say, they could have done a better job on some of the images. At times these seem haphazardly thrown together. Low resolution models of items have been blown up to show just how shoddy their design was in game.'' - [http://www.gamersdailynews.com/article-2225-The-HALO-Encyclopedia-Book-Review.html Gamer's Daily News]</ref>

Others criticized how the book was filled with numerous spelling and grammar mistakes. Occasionally, the ''Encyclopedia'' would also have the wrong pictures in some areas, such as putting both the [[Scout]] and [[Rogue]] armor as the same, and picturing the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' as an [[Assault Carrier]], when it is actually a [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]. It also provided references to [[I love bees]] and [[Believe]], the former of which is debated canon, while the latter is considered non-canon.
Others criticisms centered on the work's poor editing, most notably its poor spelling and grammar. Misattributions were also frequent, with [[Scout]] and [[Rogue]] being mistakenly confused as one armor type, and the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' being billed as an "[[Assault Carrier]]," when the vessel is in fact a [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]].  
 
References to canonically controversial sources also occurred. [[I love bees]] and [[Believe]], were both referenced by the''Encyclopedia.'' ''Believe'' is of debated canonicity, while ''I love bees'' is considered non-canon.
