The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1] N-Europe slammed the game as "badly done shovelware" which felt like a quick cash-in on the Wii's success and control scheme.[6] GameSpot said, "twitchy controls and poor presentation eclipse what little fun there is to be had with this middling billiards game."[3]
