"makes no use of the DS’s wireless communication feature, so there is no multiplayer event. Still, this off-beat gem is a must-have game for any fledgeling DS collection." The New York Times gave it a favorable review and said that it "often lets you bypass annoying games in favor of entertaining ones, so the ratio of fun to aggravation is pretty good." However, The Sydney Morning Herald gave it three stars out of five, saying, "Completed mini-games can be played individually with increasing difficulty, but there is little long-term appeal once the delightfully barmy story has finished." On February 2, 2006, the game won the "Best Concept" award at the 2006 Imagina Games Awards. Game Informer named the game one of the top ten weirdest of all time. A prequel to Feel the Magic: XY/XX, titled The Rub Rabbits!, was released in Japan in 2005. Later it released in North America and Europe in 2006. The color scheme along with the black and blue rabbits in the 2020 Nintendo 3DS title The Queen TV-Game 2 were inspired by the visual design of Feel the Magic: XY/XX.
