Professor Layton and the Unwound Future received very positive reviews and is considered the best game in the series so far. Video game talk show Good Game: Spawn Point's two presenters gave the game a 9 and 8.5 out of 10 praising the memo overlay feature and saying "If you're a Layton fan, then you're going to get exactly what you expect — which is some very polished and brilliant puzzle action." Nintendo Power's review gave it a 9 out of 10, stating "I have no qualms calling this the best Professor Layton game yet", and, in the 2010 Nintendo Power awards, it was recognized as both the best puzzle game and the game with the strongest ending released in 2010.
As of December 2010, Unwound Future has sold 862,967 copies in Japan, and more than 1.87 million copies in North America and Europe. As of March 2011, its sales in North America and Europe totalled 1.97 million copies sold.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
