reviewers had mixed opinions of the game as a whole. loveridge called it an intricate simulation game that fans of the series would enjoy, and she commended the many references to the film featured in the game. tamburro agreed and called it the best "jurassic park"-themed game, though he noted that the game had more constraints than frontier's previous park builder, "planet coaster". initially impressed by the game, warr was disappointed after extended play time feeling the game was lacking depth. swinbanks noted that despite its shortcomings, the game was "faithful" to the franchise. he felt that it was "a good park management sim in its own right". roemer felt that the game's development was rushed, and the lack of depth was problematic. stapleton called it a "bad" game for being largely boring.
