Test Drive: Off-Road: Wide Open received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[22][23]

Kristian Brogger of Game Informer initially gave the PlayStation 2 version a bad review in the September 2001 issue, stating that the graphics were poor and the sounds were so bad because of bugs in the game.[4] However, he raised the grade up to an average review in the November 2001 issue, stating that the game was "certainly leagues better without the infamous bug, but the game itself still seems to suffer from an attack of mediocre gameplay syndrome."[3]

Jim Preston reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "An all-too-familiar entry in the Test Drive series, but there's fun to be had."[18]
