The game received "universal acclaim" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] Rob Smolka of Next Generation called it "A great-playing game, both online and offline, and a significant advance over last year's version."[12] In Japan, where the game was ported for release on March 29, 2001, Famitsu gave it a score of 32 out of 40.[4] According to Metacritic, NFL 2K1 is the 14th highest rated game of all time.
NFL 2K1 won GameSpot's annual "Best Dreamcast Game" and, among console games, "Best Sports Game (Traditional)" awards. It was also a runner-up for the publication's annual "Game of the Year" and "Best Multiplayer Game" prizes, which went respectively to Chrono Cross and Quake III Arena. The editors wrote that they "argued for more than an hour over whether Square's Chrono Cross or Sega's NFL 2K1 should win the award for Game of the Year".[14]
