Upon its release, Animal Crossing was subject to critical acclaim. It was named the seventh best game of all time on the Nintendo GameCube by the television show X-Play on the television network G4. On IGN, the game holds an "outstanding" 9.1 rating.
Animal Crossing was also rated the fifth-best GameCube game by ScrewAttack on their "Farewell to the GameCube, ten GameCube games" list, saying, "It's a game that plays even when you're not and can last up to 20 years!" The game's popularity inspired the creation of an animated film based on Animal Crossing: Wild World, which was released exclusively in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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)
“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)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
