Based on four reviews, the game received a score of 62% on Metacritic, corresponding to a "mixed or average" rating. AllGame's reviewer Jennifer Beam appreciated the game's animated cutscenes and said they were "like watching the show itself and the characters are depicted relatively well." Beam also praised the game's voice work for Dexter, performed by Candi Milo who also does the voice for Dexter on the television series. Troy Oxford of "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution" said the mini-games make the title a success. "PSIllustrated"'s Stephen Triche also praised the game's graphics, but he was dissatisfied with the game on the whole and found the minigames to be dull: "I get the feeling Red-Lemon Studios used a young target audience as an excuse for making a game that I've quite simply found lacking."
