After the January 1805 premiere a review written for the Berlin magazine Der Freimüthige stated: "A completely new Eberl symphony in D corresponded exactly to what one is entitled to expect from this great composer; it unites beautiful and pleasant ideas with novelty, audacity, and power; It is full of vivid ideas, full of brilliant twists and turns, but still united in a beautiful unity."
In the last fugal pieces lies great strength, and in the beautiful march a very excellent instrumental effect.
34 was heard in a concert of the pianist Marie Bigot, a review in the Berlinische musikalische Zeitung reported that "in a new, broadly conceived and deeply felt symphony by Eberl in D this composer evokes gripping passion, high pathos, and the art of controlling a powerful stream of diverse ideas with exceptional power."
In the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung on the occasion of its first performance in Leipzig on November 21, 1805, the formal peculiarities of the work are positively emphasized in this review: "We find the fact that the author of the symphony has given a different style than the usual one, very well; it is also evident that he has brought a great deal of mass into his work, and has succeeded in grouping it in a clever way, which is intended to have an extremely violent effect.
