The game was a bestseller in the UK. The game created quite a stir, and was a commercial success, though it received mixed reviews upon release.
A fan-made content port of the game's map to Grand Theft Auto IV's Rockstar Advanced Game Engine was created by users from the GTAForums community, along with conversions using files from later games. The port was met with positive reception from Rockstar themselves, commending on the efforts done by modders to the games.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”

“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)
“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)
