Maximum Chase received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[6] In Japan, however, Famitsu gave it a score of 30 out of 40.[8]
Brad Shoemaker, reviewing the game for GameSpot, said it was a nice diversion for a few hours but criticized the lack of replay value, technical bugs, and the fact the game had an MSRP of full retail price, calling it "nearly a crime".[10]
