Karnaaj Rally was mostly liked. It is rated 80% on GameRankings,[5] 81 out of 100 on Metacritic with 9 reviews,[6] 8.8 "Great" on IGN.[7] and 7.8/10 "good" on GameSpot, which called it "a blast to play"[8] and the best Game Boy Advance game of January 2003.[9]
Many video game reviewers and publications hated the game's box art. 1UP.com's feature "Hey Covers... You Suck!" said it has "..the world's ugliest man jump[ing] in front of the camera."[10] IGN liked the game, but said it is "hard to ignore the crappy name and awful package design" and to "Never judge a book by its cover."[7][11]
Readers of the June 2003 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (issue 167) and makers of the game hated it when Seanbaby hated the game because its cover art was bad.[12]
