Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it four stars out of five, stated that "This is simply the best arcade-style football game currently available."[2]
Entertainment Weekly gave the game a "B" grade and said "This game's on-screen players are huge, the generous video clips are broadcast-TV quality, and there are enough obscure play options to satisfy Monday- and Tuesday- morning quarterbacks. But anyone willing to learn the difference between a quick slant I formation and a single-back halfback sweep is going to want more incisive commentary from Madden than, 'Now that was great defense!'"[6]
In 1996, GamesMaster ranked the game 10th on their "The GamesMasters 3DO Top 10."[7]
