Game Revolution found the 3D graphics of the interactive museum impressive but the setup mundane. They commended the inclusion of "Sonic the Hedgehog" commercials. Colin Williamson of AllGame said the 3D presentation was "gorgeous", but felt the overall experience was not as fun compared to "Super Mario 64" and "Crash Bandicoot". Special K from "GamePro" felt "Sonic Jam" served as a "great permanent record" of the original "Sonic" games. Steve O'Learly from "Hyper" praised the detailed graphics of "Sonic World", saying that it showed the Saturn did perform well if programmed correctly, although he thought that it did not appear as polished as "Super Mario 64".
