Reviewing the game for IGN, Sam Bishop was highly negative, giving the game a score of 2.5/10. He found that despite its "initial charm", the experience was "driven well into the ground before the game is close to over", adding "Lasagna World Tour is a pretty bad game". He was also highly critical of the sound and visuals, which he called some of the worst he'd heard in years.[2] Ben Dutka, for PSXextreme, thought that the game was "prone to many drawbacks and errors, and [it was] just not all that entertaining".[1]
A review in Random.Access thought that for "what it was meant to be" it was not horrible, and that it would appeal to its target market.[5]
