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:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“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 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)
