The PlayStation 2 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PlayStation version received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3][4] Samuel Bass of NextGen said of the latter console version in its January 2001 issue, "A pre-SSX game in a post-SSX era, Cool Boarders 2001 is simply too little, too late."[20] Six issues later, Jeff Lundrigan said of the former console version, "It's not the worst snowboarding game you've ever played, but there are far better ones out there."[21]
