''Day of Defeat: Source'' was given a positive reception, receiving ratings of 80/100 and 81% from the review aggregation sites [[Metacritic]] and [[GameRankings]].<ref name="GR" /><ref name="metacritic" /> The game's graphics received praise, with [[GameSpot]] stating that "presentation is ''Day of Defeat: Source''{{'}}s most obvious strength",<ref name="GSpot"/> and ''[[PC Zone]]'' citing this for creating a "tense and atmospheric" game.<ref name="PCZone"/> The [[ragdoll physics]] in the game noted by reviewers as being "amusing",<ref name="PCGUK"/><ref name="GSpot"/><ref name="IGN"/> and the game's audio work was also praised. The core gameplay, described as "lightning war meets capture the flag" by [[1UP.com]],<ref name="1UP"/> was equally praised by reviewers, many appreciating the interdependence of the classes and strategic gameplay.<ref name="GSpot"/><ref name="IGN"/> Several reviews closed remarking that the game's content was of a very high quality.<ref name="GSpot"/><ref name="IGN"/>

Criticism of the game principally revolved around the lack of content. While praise was bestowed upon the quality of the content already available, a number of reviewers were concerned about the small number of maps included in the initial release, even though new content was promised by Valve for later. [[IGN]] commented that the existing content had a good chance of going "stale",<ref name="IGN"/> while [[GameSpy]] stated that the game's "lack of breadth" was a "serious shortcoming".<ref name="GSpy"/> In addition, ''PC Zone'' commented that "by still clinging to the small-scale skirmish atmosphere of the original, ''Day of Defeat: Source'' doesn't make much of departure from ''[[Counter-Strike]]''", stating that this made the game seem like a "facelift" to a "much-loved mod [...] before making us pay for it again". ''PC Zone'' summed its review up by commenting that "this is an old game—an excellent old game and a beautiful old game—but an old game nonetheless".<ref name="PCZone"/>
