The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN called the game "ridiculously hard, but once you get into it, it's ridiculously fun". GameSpot said that it was a fun game, but it lacked variety. Chris Charla of NextGen said that the game was "too limited to earn another star, but it is unquestionably addictive as hell." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 23 out of 40. Vicious Sid of GamePro called it "a fun, but flawed, ride."{{cite magazine |author=Vicious Sid |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/e/e4/GamePro_US_144.pdf |title=Surf Riders |magazine=GamePro |publisher=IDG |issue=144 |date=September 2000 |page=99 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230711185909/https://retrocdn.net/images/e/e4/GamePro_US_144.pdf |archivedate=July 11, 2023 |url-status=live |accessdate=April 20, 2024}}{{efn|GamePro gave the game two 3.5/5 scores for graphics and fun factor, 4/5 for sound, and 3/5 for control.}}
