Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Although it won't provide much of a challenge for experienced players, Lost Eden is a great title for anyone who loves a good story."^[4]

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "All in all, it's a solid adventure game with some very nice trimmings."^[7]

The 3DO version received mostly positive reviews. Critics were unanimously pleased with the advanced pre-rendered graphics, full voice acting, sharp full motion video cutscenes, and most especially the unique and imaginative world these visuals and audio gave life to.^[8][9][10]

However, the other elements of the game divided critics. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly and Scary Larry of GamePro were highly pleased with the simple, easy-to-learn interface,^[8][10] but a reviewer for Next Generation found that it loses appeal over time due to the obtrusively large cursor.^[9] While EGM's reviewers deemed the story compelling,^[8] Next Generation remarked that despite the unique milieu the plot falls into obvious cliches,^[9] and Scary Larry found the dialogues were overlong and often did nothing to enhance the story.^[10] And while Mark LeFebvre of EGM called Picq's soundtrack "truly impossible to deal with",^[8] most reviewers enjoyed it, variously calling it "relaxing",^[8] "strange and rather ethereal",^[9] and "a great earthy composition".^[10] Scary Larry gave the game a tentative recommendation, saying that the long dialogues somewhat tarnished the enjoyable puzzling,^[10] while Next Generation was more enthusiastic, concluding, "Overall, Lost Eden is well-constructed and different enough ... to warrant more than a look."^[9]
