Reception

The game received an aggregate score of 55/100 on Metacritic for the PlayStation 4 version. Tristan Oglivie of IGN rated Big Bash Boom a 6/10, saying that it was "fun, flashy, and family-friendly", but "too light on features to make it a must-buy". James Swinbanks of GameSpot rated the game 5/10, stating that "Big Bash's bugs and glitches make it hard to make a lasting impression". Shaun Prescott of PC Gamer said the game "sounds a bit like Mario Kart, but with cricket", stating that "if you're after a lighthearted approach to cricket I don't think there's much out there. Until now."
