Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.^[1] Ryan Davis of GameSpot said, "PlayStation 2 owners should find plenty to like about Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2."^[9] IGN's Ed Lewis said of the game, "Overall, it still isn't the best thing out there, but it's definitely a solid update and holds rather strongly by itself."^[10] One specific criticism of the game was that when entering the Davis/Fed-Cup styled 'World Tournament' as a player from a small nation, no realistic name generator was available for partners and other team members. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of all four eights for a total of 32 out of 40.^[5]
