CNET said the version running on the Quest 2 had fluid ball motion, and that standing at the table was convincing, and that game is an affordable way to have virtual pinball tables at home.^[1] TechRadar praised the immersion of the game, and enjoyed the mini-games used on some tables.^[13] Prima Games found the textures to be lower quality on the Quest 2 than on non-VR platforms. the career mode was praised, but found the menus to be off-putting.^[14]

Reviewing the PC VR version, Hardcore Gamer said there is a strong collection of tables which all play differently. Playing in VR was found to be close to real pinball, avoiding the compromise of viewpoints in standard screen versions.^[3] UploadVR found the table design to make it an excellent pinball game, and the fan cave to make it an excellent Star Wars experience. The text on information menus was found to be awkward to read.^[15]

For the PlayStation VR version, Pure PlayStation praised the sound effects, but found the voice acting to be mostly weak. The physics were found to "feel spot-on".^[12]

Zen Studios released another VR pinball game in 2025 called Pinball FX VR.^[16]
