Tim Wright of Game Boy Extreme considered the game to "play well enough" and feature "good graphics", highlighting the added "tricks, secrets and minigames" and "oodles of detail" on the game's pinball tables. Describing the game as "good fun", Nintendo Official Magazine praised the "imaginative and colourful" tables, but considered them to lack detail and "any real tension or excitement" to sustain interest.
