Jet Moto 3 was fairly well received, averaging 75.75% at gaming aggregate site GameRankings. It ranked tenth in the top ten racing titles for June 2000 according to the NPD Group, however sales did not continue to hold strong.
Reviewers were mixed on the opinion of the game's visuals. Game Revolution called the graphics "a vast improvement over the grainy, somewhat choppy visuals of Jet Moto and Jet Moto 2." IGN also praised the Jet Moto 3's visuals, citing a vastly improved framerate and draw distance than Jet Moto and Jet Moto 2. GameSpot, however felt the graphical details were poor, citing that the game's environments were "nice and pretty unless you get too close." The CGI cutscenes were also panned by GameSpot, calling it "frightful" and stating "none of the characters look even fractionally human."
Game Informer praised the new stunt tracks, stating that they "will capture hours of your playtime." Electric Playground spoke highly of the game's soundtrack, stating that the varied types of music fit each track's location and environment. They further praised Jet Moto 3 as superior to the other titles, calling the first two games "notoriously bug-ridden." The Official UK PlayStation Magazine said the opposite, giving the game 3/10, while the previous game received 8/10.

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)
“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.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“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)
