The game received average reviews. Next Generation said, "With two volumes still to come, Namco is clearly stretching a series that could have been condensed into three discs without the superfluous B titles. But the number of true classics in Volume 3 [sic] outweigh the ones that never should have been unearthed."^[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.^[8]

Dr. Zombie of GamePro called it "must-have arcade fun that will provide hours of classic gaming until Namco preps Volume 4. Thanks for the memories, Namco!"^[13]^[a]

Notes

^ GamePro gave the game three 4.5/5 scores for graphics, sound, and fun factor, and 4/5 for control.
