2017, Oh! SkaTra!!! Yuri!!! on ICE was the fourth best-selling anime CD album of the year, while the Yūtora/Yuri!!! on Ice Original Soundtrack Collection was the 30th best selling anime CD of 2017. Depiction of same-sex relationship Praise Yuri on Ice was praised for including a same-sex romantic relationship between Yuri K. and Victor. Among moments highlighted by critics are an apparent kiss in the seventh episode, an exchange of gold rings (indicating a marriage or engagement) in the tenth episode, and Victor's tears when Yuri suggests ending their partnership in the twelfth episode.

The series finale features a scene in which Yuri K. and Victor skate together at an exhibition event; something which has not yet occurred in actual competition. Critics have noted that the series depicts two characters from countries with problems concerning LGBT
