Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey was released in North America March 23, 2010. All the Persona games have been localized except for Persona 2: Innocent Sin and have received high praise from critics. Revelations: Persona has an 80 on Metacritic, while its PSP remake earned an 83. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment received an 83, Persona 3 earned a Metacritic score of 86, and Persona 4 earned a 90. Other games in the series to receive similar scores are Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga, Digital Devil Saga 2, and the Devil Summoner games.

Nintendo Power has noted that Atlus always mixes «familiar gameplay» with surprising settings when creating games for the series, citing Persona, with its «modern-day horror stories» and «teams of Japanese high-school kids», as the perfect example. The editor also added that Strange Journey followed a similar system, calling it a «science-fiction makeover» of the series.
