Pamela Horton identified Ayla as one of her favorite video game characters due to her assertiveness and independence. She cosplayed as Ayla, and it was the only cosplay she had done. Meghan Sullivan for IGN praised her introduction and her scene with Azala as two of the best in video games. John P. Hussey of RPGFan however found her forgettable. Author Michael P. Williams felt that she came close to the "dumb blonde" stereotype, but avoids it by being the most capable member of the cast. He cites her nobility and pragmatism as examples of this. He also called her the sexiest character in the game. A statue featuring Ayla, Crono, and Robo was shown at Toy Fair 2010.
