In Japan, Game Machine listed Run and Gun II on their May 1, 1996 issue as being the seventh most-successful arcade game of the month.[6]

Hyper reviewed the arcade game, rating it 4½ out of 5 stars and calling it "an excellent game" that is "far superior" to its predecessor.[7] Next Generation rated it three stars out of five, giving the praise to its multiplayer.[5]
