Official Xbox Magazine awarded Fight Night: Round 3 with its first 10, the highest score given by the magazine.
G4's Reviews on the Run's Victor Lucas stated that Round 3 had the best graphics he has ever seen on a video game.
The game has been criticized for its highly intrusive product placement. While brands for athletic apparel, such as Everlast and Under Armour are expected in a sports game, sponsorship by Dodge and Burger King is regarded as excessive (The Burger King can even be used as a trainer). It won GameSpot's award as the game with "The Most Despicable Product Placement".
The game received the IGN award for Best Offline Multiplayer on PlayStation 3 in 2006.
Received the first ever BAFTA (British Academy of Film & Television Arts) for a sports video game in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“A third variety of drama ... begins as tragedy with scraps of fun in it ... and ends in comedy without mirth in it, the place of mirth being taken by a more or less bitter and critical irony.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
