Dead in the Water received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[5] Next Generation said, "A decent-looking 3D polygonal game, Dead in the Water overall is a mixed bag, with the straight battle races being the ultimate lure. But in any case, steer clear of this shipwreck."[12]
