Panzer Dragoon Orta was well received by critics, attaining a score of 90% on both GameRankings and Metacritic. GameSpot called it "one of the best traditional video game shooting experiences ever made", and IGN's review called Orta a potent mix between "a solid storyline, stunning graphics, and great sound", declaring it "the best rail shooter of all time". Most of Orta's criticism was directed at the short length of the main single-player game, and its high level of difficulty even on the easiest settings. 1UP.com's review noted that "if you can beat it on normal difficulty, then consider yourself a true gamer," and that "it may turn off some with its difficulty".
IGN also included the game in their list of Top 25 XBox games of all time and in their top 11 list of games that deserve an HD remakes.
