Corsairs generally received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[1] It was often deemed as being buggy and having outdated sound and graphics, but praised for having a decent storyline and being creative.[6] Adam Pavlacka of NextGen said of the game, "If a little more work had gone into polishing the gameplay, this could have been a real gem. As it is, it's a lump of coal."[8]
