Although the film was well received by the audience at its 2006 Pula Film Festival premiere, it fared poorly at the box office. Variety described Libertas as an "old-fashioned European costume drama", while a Nacional review found faults with rigid directing and lack of character depth.
Libertas was Croatia's submission to the 79th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.
