Although the game was well-received from many game critics, the commercial success lacked.

Famitsu reported that the game sold 33,785 copies during its first week of release in that region. Klonoa 2, along with Moto GP and Seven: Molmorth no Kiheitai, were expected to sell a combined 900,000 copies during the release quarter, but only managed to sell 290,000 units together. Lunatea's Veil was re-released in Japan on June 27, 2002 as part of Sony's The Best range of budget titles.
