Critical reception The game received "generally favorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one nine, one six, one seven, and one six, for a total of 28 out of 40. Tim Tracy of GameSpot described it as a "solid choice" for those "who have little or no interest in video games". Douglass Perry of IGN described all the minigames as "simple, instantly graspable, and fun for a single player", although highlighted that "none of [them] are deep in any way." Kristan Reed for Eurogamer felt EyeToy: Play was "tremendous fun for a quick mess around if you've got a few mates around" but playing alone "feels a bit pointless."
