Critical reception
Wired wrote "If you enjoy Hell's Kitchen or Master Chef, having Ramsay's constant banter in the game really does enhance the experience. If you're used to playing mobile games with the sound turned off, you're missing out. Pulling off a well-coordinated service is rewarding in and of itself, but hearing "That was [*bleep*] stunning" afterwards is just hilarious."{{cite magazine|author=Kohler, Chris|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/07/gordon-ramsay-dash/|magazine=Wired|title=This Game Fulfills Your Secret Desire To Be Yelled at By Gordon Ramsay|date=July 13, 2016}}
The Irish Times said "If you’re hoping for Ramsay at his fiery, sweary best (worst?) this may not be quite what you were expecting. But as a commute distraction, it beats tackling the same level of Candy Crush."{{cite news|newspaper=The Irish Times|author=O'Brien, Ciara|date=July 8, 2016|title=Gordon Ramsay Dash|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/games/game-reviews/gordon-ramsay-dash-1.2715164}}
