The game received average reviews. Next Generation said, "With only three competitive courses and one freestyle course, there may not be enough to keep the master gamer involved. However, compared to its competition, Cool Boarders, Trix breezes by as a faster, more exciting experience." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40.
