Like the first Victorious Boxers, this game had a relatively unknown release. Though very similar to the first, it did not receive as many positive reviews. PALGN rated it an overall 6.5 and stated that it was a "reasonable boxing title" that could have done better if released earlier. They also stated that fans of the anime and manga would enjoy it. Famitsu rated the game a 28/40. ThunderBoltGames rated it a 7 out of 10 and said that the games has "the right stuff were it counts." Eurogamer also rated it a 7 out of 10 and said that while many gamers may prefer games like the Fight Night series over Victorious Boxers 2, "it's certainly an acquired taste that proves satisfying if you give it time to beef up". Metacritic has it rated at 61 out of 100 and Game Rankings has it rated at 70%.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
