What the critics said
Scott McCall of AllGame called the Nintendo 64 version "somewhat fun and original to play", but criticized its "average" sound effects and "very limited and repetitive" songs, which he felt were of poor quality.
— AllGame (Scott McCall)
He wrote that one of the top attributes of the game "is how it perfectly integrates performing tricks with successful racing."
— GamePro, 1999
Joe Ottoson of AllGame wrote a positive review of the PlayStation version and praised its soundtrack, although he noted that the sound effects "aren't quite as high budget, but the screeching tires and colliding cars provide a convincing supplement to the action."
