The game received "favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3] GamePro said, "While it may not have the flashiest graphics, MLB 2001 delivers topnotch sound, solid controls, and a better-balanced and more realistic baseball simulation than either Triple Play or High Heat."[13][c]
