Reception

The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. GamePro said, "While it may not have the flashiest graphics, MLB 2001 delivers topnotch sound, solid controls, and a better-balanced and more realistic baseball simulation than either Triple Play or High Heat."
