The game was poorly reviewed. Absolute Games concluded that Hugo: Bukkazoom! "fell short of being an interesting game". Jeuxvideo.com criticized the controls which "made the gameplay too random", but noted that if the controls were done more precise, Hugo: Bukkazoom could have interested fans of kart racing.
