Game Boy Extreme reviewed the game negatively, writing "weak graphics and simplistic gameplay spoil this bike racer." In a retrospective review for Screen Rant, Camden Jones remarked that the game was ahead of its time, writing that the "races are visually impressive and extremely fluid-feeling for such an underpowered system, mostly due to the plethora of jumps peppered throughout, which feel like they have a real physics system behind them."
