The game received "unfavorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40 for the GameCube version,[8] and 22 out of 40 for the Game Boy Advance version.[7]

GameSpot said the GameCube version was worse than Disney Sports Basketball. They went on to say: "Disney Sports Skateboarding serves no purpose in this world, save to exemplify and showcase everything that can feasibly go wrong with a skateboarding game."[4] GameSpot also said of the GBA version: "Even if you take into account that Disney Sports Skateboarding is intended for a younger audience, that excuse doesn't explain away all of the game's problems and shortcomings."[10]
