The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5] GamePro said that the PlayStation 2 version was "great fun, and you'll do well whether you're a closet pop star with a great voice or an average couch crooner with questionable talent."[23][b]
IGN ranked the same console version as the 99th best PlayStation 2 game due to the involvement of Harmonix.[24]
