Johnny Minkley gave the title 3/5 in CVG, praising the range of game modes, "easy to pick up" controls, but criticising unresponsive controls, dull commentary, repetitive cut scenes and the easy difficulty.^[3] Writing in Dreamcast Magazine, Alex Warren awarded the game 91%, describing it as "quite simply the most comprehensive, best-looking and most enjoyable football title yet to grace Sega's little box of wonders".^[4] DC-UK's Lee Hart was less positive, arguing that the sluggishness of the player animation meant that the "quick passing, instinctive game that Sega Worldwide Soccer encouraged has gone forever", and giving a score of 6/10.^[1] The game received a score of 5/10 in Official Dreamcast Magazine with reviewer Steve Key arguing that little had been changed from Silicon Dreams previous football titles on the console and criticising several gameplay aspects including poor player positioning, the tackling system and switching between controllable players.^[2]
