The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3]
IGN said, "What little Aura does to advance the genre it does remarkably well. In an age when encountering logical puzzles is as rare as pooping out gold nuggets, Aura shines as a game that attempts to bring a little reason into the mix."[11] However, GameSpy said, "The few good puzzles contained within aren't worth the time and risk that you might not even be able to complete it."[9]
