"Powerplay" gave the game a rating of 70% for the PC version and 69% for the Amiga and Atari ST versions. "Computer Gaming World" stated in January 1993 that although the game seemed designed to appeal to younger players, the difficulty of the puzzles made it most appropriate for older gamers, either alone or with children. The magazine concluded that the game "will entertain a variety of light-hearted gamers". In April 1994 the magazine said that "Gobliiins Multimedia CD" "was ever so cute and challenging", with a "much improved sound track". In February 1993 "Dragon" rated the game 5 out of 5 stars.
