Despite the game's sales, popularity and marketing all being poor, most reviews of the game were positive. Nintendo Magazine System UK, a British magazine gave it a nearly perfect 9.5 out of 10. In Vol. 2 issue 5 of Game Zero, another video game magazine, the game scored a 94 out of 100, saying the controls are "out of this world!" and the "attention to detail is truly superior". Edge gave it a 9 out of 10 rating, while stating that Stunt Race FX is "one of the best racing games currently available for any home system."

However, on the negative side, GamePro gave it a 72% and thought Stunt Race FX wasn't realistic.

EGM responded positively to the game's track design, though criticized the game for the controls, thinking Stunt Race FX "feels awkward with the touchy steering" and not being as fast as most other racing games.

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
