The game series has received mixed-to-positive reviews, with a consensus that developer Milestone srl has displayed their experience with racing games well with this series, and reviewers praising the fact such a niche game exists. Physics have been noted to be inconsistent, and while gameplay graphics are commended, cut-scene and menus are generally criticized as lackluster. Reviewers of sequels have remarked on a noticeable improvement in both areas, but all releases have what Push Square reviewer Graham Banas commented as "load times [that are] absolutely brutal". In other areas, Max Hind of DirtBike Rider lauded the improved soundtrack of the second iteration, as well as the available customization, but found online features to be lacking. Steven Weber observed a relatively steep learning curve in his Gamespace Review, but, like other reviewers, found this to create a more rewarding experience once mastered. As Luke Reilly of IGN elaborated on in his review of the third iteration, "[that] while it’s straightforward to pick up, the learning curve is steep and, like the past two games, regardless of the handling mode it’s hard to ever quite know what will cause a bail". Other reviewers appreciated the introduction of females riders in the customization options of the third release, as well as the ability to skip tutorials if familiar with prior games.
