"PC Zone" gave it 82% and called it "an enjoyable, professionally created and amiably funny game. It doesn't do anything startlingly new, but is still an essential title for the hordes of people who grew up playing adventures." Adventure Gamers gave it four stars out of five and called it "a quality adventure game even though the restyling of the old locations on Mêlée Island and Monkey Island is a bit of a mixed bag. The ending is long, satisfying and almost as disturbingly weird as the ending of "LeChuck's Revenge" (but without being such an anti-climax)." Jeff Lundrigan in "Next Generation", rated it three stars out of five, and stated that "If the puzzles are a good example of why adventure games have been self-destructing for years, the story, characters, and production values show just how entertaining they can be at their best."
