The game received unfavorable reviews. A reviewer for Next Generation said, "A decathlon simulation is a novel idea, but this implementation simply isn't exciting enough to do the job."[5] GameSpot's Hugo Foster made similar remarks, and added that the simplicity of the gameplay makes the results essentially arbitrary once the player has mastered the rudimentary skills involved, which removes any potential excitement from the multiplayer mode: "You find yourself begging for results, rather than feeling that you've done something to deserve them." However, he praised the included interview and commentaries from Jenner.[1]
