The reissue comes in six formats: a standard CD edition; a deluxe two-CD edition; a standard LP version; a deluxe two-LP version; a super deluxe two-CD plus two-LP version with a hardback book; and as high-resolution, 24-bit/96k digital downloads. The deluxe and super deluxe editions feature bonus material containing alternative takes, backing tracks and the previously unreleased songs "Bathroom Sound", "[[Bron-Y-Aur Stomp#"Jennings Farm Blues"|Jennings Farm Blues]]" and "Key to the Highway/Trouble in Mind". The LP versions replicate the original volvelle sleeve design. The reissue was released with an inverted colour version of the original album's artwork as its bonus disc's cover.<ref>{{cite web|date=13 March 2014|url=http://www.mojo4music.com/12781/led-zeppelin-remasters-arrive-last/|title=Led Zeppelin Remasters Arrive At Last|website=[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]|access-date=31 July 2014|archive-date=9 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140809220559/http://www.mojo4music.com/12781/led-zeppelin-remasters-arrive-last/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The reissue was met with widespread critical acclaim. At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a [[standard score|normalised]] rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an [[weighted arithmetic mean|average]] score of 98, based on 10 reviews.<ref name="MC"/> The bonus disc was hailed by ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' journalist Mark Richardson as "easily the best" of the three reissues.<ref name="pitchfork"/> In ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', [[David Fricke]] wrote of highlights in the bonus disc: {{"'}}Jennings Farm Blues', an electric run at the folk gallop 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp', shows Zeppelin exploring options, and the medley 'Keys to the Highway/Trouble in Mind', by Page and Plant, feels like a deep-blues breath before the next rush forward."<ref name="RS2014"/>
