Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five. The magazine praised the graphics capabilities, but was critical of controls and lack of additional content.

German magazine Mega Fun gave the game a rating of 86%. In 1998, Saturn Power listed the game 96th on their Top 100 Sega Saturn Games writing: "Nothing mind-blowingly original in any fashion but, in typical Core style, an interesting game nonetheless."
