MegaTech magazine gave a 78% review score, praising the game being fun to play although giving criticism that the game being too easy. Sega Power magazine gave the game an overall 30% score, criticizing the boring gameplay, the levels being too easy, the dull graphics, terrible sound and concluding “A nob beat-em-up with added nobby bits. The levels are dull, the moves limited and the end-of-level bosses too tough to beat. DJ Boy is unfriendly, unfunny and unfair.” Mega placed the Mega Drive version at #4 in their list of the 10 Worst Mega Drive Games of All Time. Console XS magazine gave the game a 59% score, initially praising the game’s originality but also criticizing the game being easy and too simple concluding "With little variation you wouldn’t be playing this for long."
