        The game was met with mixed to negative reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 64.25% and 66 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version;[2][6] 56% and 55 out of 100 for the Xbox version;[3][7] 51.33% and 48 out of 100 for the GameCube version;[4][8] and 30% and 30 out of 100 for the DS version.[5][9]

        Xbox Advanced said, "Shamu’s Deep Sea Adventures is just flat out a bad game. Being a budget title does not save this game or excuse any of its shortcomings, as so many of today’s budget titles for kids are actually very good".[14] The video game columnist for CiN Weekly said the game is "a cute marketing vehicle that is too difficult and underdeveloped for its target audience".[13]
