Following its release, Turtles in Time became Konami's best selling arcade title. Although critics found that the second game was largely similar to the previous arcade game, they felt that it was a net improvement over its predecessor on all points, including graphics, music and gameplay. Overall, the game was hailed for staying true to its source material.
The SNES version was praised for its additional stages and gameplay modes. Like the arcade version, the SNES game has been lauded for its visuals, which replicate the cartoon's art style. The game's music and sound effects have also been praised. However, the game has been criticized for its repetitive gameplay and short length. Despite these criticisms, Nintendojo called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time the best Ninja Turtles game of all time.
Unlike the SNES version, the 2009 remake Re-Shelled has met with mixed reviews. IGN gave the game a 5.9 out of 10, stating that Ubisoft has not improved enough upon the original game to justify the remake's comparatively high price point. It also criticizes how there is no option to play the original arcade version of the game. Gametrailers gave the game 6.1 out of 10, saying there is not enough to warrant more than one or two plays. ScrewAttack included the game on their Top Ten Busts lists, giving it 8th place saying it took out all of the fun of the original.
