Stephen Manes of The New York Times said:

"3D Atlas is best at displaying national statistics, letting you graph and compare them in many fascinating ways, including ones you invent. But the inconsistent interface does not always make you aware of scale."[10]

CNET said:

"Still, 3D Atlas offers excellent introductory information for anyone interested in learning more about the earth."[11]

By 1997, 3D Atlas had sold more than 2 million units.[2]

The application won[when?] the "Best International Reference Product" Award from the European Multimedia Association. It also won[when?] MacUser's "Best Reference Award".[2][7]
