The Last Revelation was a bestseller for two months in the UK. The game received mostly positive reviews upon release. Game Vortex gave it an extremely positive review, 95/100, saying "As would be expected, the latest installment in the Tomb Raider series stuns us with richly detailed levels, amazing locales and some of the best cut scenes I've seen yet". They went on to conclude "Bottom line - Tomb Raider: Last Revelation is more of a good thing - more of what we fell in love with in the beginning". GameSpot were more mixed, however, offering a 6/10 score and saying "It is an acceptable game based on its own merits, but, set against its own legacy, it is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from those that have come before it. It reeks of a ready-to-go game engine and of a level designer going through the motions, with someone else coming up with a new move for Lara all the while". A more positive reaction came from Gaming Age, who awarded the game a B-, stating it was "definitely better than both II and III". IGN also gave the game a mainly positive review, however they did state "The Last Revelation feels like the gaming equivalent of dusting off old photos and staring at the faded pictures". But even so, they did point out that "Lara Croft is such an incredibly strong franchise by this point that critics could light it on fire in protest, and it would still sell into the millions on console and PC formats".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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)
“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)
“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)
