The Des Moines Register said "As for the family room test, children and adults are winners here. It's a refreshing way to spend quality time"
Marshfield News-Herald said "To enhance the game are 150 video clips from various Disney productions, along with a catchy theme song that players can sing along with as the closing credits roll. In short, "The D Show" is far from a Mickey Mouse game"
MacHome Journal said "Kids who have logged hundreds of hours in front of The Little Mermaid or the Lion King will be rewarded for their time spent, here if nowhere else, making it something that the whole family can play. This is, however, really a title for the Disney lover; regular trivia fans probably won't find enough in here to keep them inspired".{{cite web|first=Anne|last=Feld|url=http://www.machome.com/reviews/Action.Lasso?-Database=reviewsDB&-layout=search&-response=display.lasso&-RecordID=33747&-search|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20020223222512/http://www.machome.com/reviews/Action.Lasso?-Database=reviewsDB&-layout=search&-response=display.lasso&-RecordID=33747&-search|title=The D Show|website=MacHome Journal|archivedate=February 23, 2002|date=November 1998|accessdate=April 18, 2025}}
