Mega lo Mania was met with universal acclaim on its original release. Amiga Power were impressed by the game, describing it as "another game to add to that list of all-time greats."[12] Mega placed the game at #34 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.[13]

Conversions to other platforms sometimes got less praise. Computer Gaming World cited many bugs and flaws, and stated that even if they were fixed "not enough attention has been paid to gameplay".[14] MegaTech magazine said that it was "very easy to get into (but) there are only nine levels".
