Next Generation reviewed the PlayStationversion of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and wrote that "if there was a game that screamed for a WWF license and a US release, this is the one". The same magazine again reviewed the game and gave it three stars out of five, and wrote that "overall, the impact is somewhat less than what we'd hoped for from a U.S. port, but Power Move Wrestling is still a solid game and an enjoyable distraction".
