 Reviewing the event for "Online Onslaught", columnist Adam Gutschmidt evaluated the event as acceptable but not exceptional.He found the Royal Rumble match to be the best part of the show, although he claimed that the WWF's switch to having wrestlers enter every 60 seconds hurt the match.He also found the inconclusive ending to the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match frustrating and rated the match between The Undertaker and Irwin R. Schyster as a "dud".
