What the critics said
Vicious Sid of GamePro called the same Nintendo 64 version "a nearly unbeatable choice for N64 racing fans."
— GamePro, 1999 (Vicious Sid)
It received a special achievement prize for "Sleeper Hit of the Year" from Computer Gaming World, whose staff wrote that it "surprised the hell out of us when it was released this past Fall".
— Computer Gaming World
Johnny B. of GameRevolution gave the PC version a B+, saying that it "may have tracks and cars that let you get more air and bounce basketballs, but underneath it's still just a fairly typical arcade racer."
