The game received "favorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2][3] In Japan, where the game was ported for release on May 24, 2007, Famitsu gave it a score of 28 out of 40, while Famitsu X360 gave the Xbox 360 version one eight, one nine, and two eights for a total of 33 out of 40.[7][8] DaveMayCry of GamePro said that the Xbox 360 version "has solid superstar skills but it's lost a few of its sweet moves. The Street franchise is still a few tweaks away from true legend status."[23][lower-alpha 2]

Sean Garmer of 411Mania gave the Xbox 360 version 8.5 out of 10, saying, "I can for sure say this is the best NBA game EA has come out with in [the] 07 series. I don't know if that's because NBA Live and NCAA March Madness sucked so much, or it's because Homecourt is just that good? Either way, this game is tons of fun and online play will help it stay in your system a little longer. I can recommend this to just about anyone looking for a different take on Basketball or looking for a fun game to play with friends. I hope the next game is just as good as this one. The only drawback is the lack of modes, but if you got lots of friends that shouldn't be a problem."[21] The New York Times gave the game a favorable review and said that it "may bear only a passing resemblance to real basketball, but it is tremendous fun, even if you never have to the pass the game controller behind your back or toss it in the air."[24] Detroit Free Press gave it three stars out of four and stated that "the high-flying super dunks, crazy-killer crossovers and behind-the-back, no-look and kick passes are exaggerated to new heights. And here lies one of the game's biggest pluses."[22]
