The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [3] Mike Wolf of NextGen said of the game, "The uninspired play control and average game modes make this one pool game to avoid." [12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40. [7] GamePro said earlier that the PC version "offers games of 8-Ball, 9-Ball, Straight Pool, Rotation, Carom Billiards, and Bumper Pool, and at first glance, it looks hot. Too bad it feels about three years out of date." [15] [a]
The game sold 200,000 units in the UK in 2005. [16]
