Stating that the game succeeded neither as a platformer or a skateboarding game, Total Game Boy considered the game repetitive and lacked replayability.[7] Game Boy Xtreme considered the game was fun as a mix of sports and platforming gameplay, but faulted the controls as "poorly designed" and the collision detection as "shoddy".[3] Nintendo Power wrote that the game "falls flat" overall, finding its action gameplay "frustrating".[4] The GBA Master Guide enjoyed the "unique graphical style" of Get Phat, but critiqued its "hit and miss" soundtrack, unresponsive controls and unclear level design.[2]
