The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] GameSpot said, "Casual Beavis and Butt-head fans might be satisfied with hearing their favorite cartoon characters say the same old stuff in a brand-new place, but discerning fans - and gamers looking for their money's worth in an adventure game - will likely walk away from this one feeling a little bit cheated."[1] Adventure Gamers criticized the game's "Short game play with mostly elementary puzzles", and concluded: "Only for fans of the series, other gamers will find it heavy handed and superficial."[5] Computer Games Magazine was more critical of Beavis and Butt-Head Do U., citing underwhelming execution of the gameplay and plot when compared to the television series, specifically pointing out the lack of innovation in regards to the stupidity of the titular characters.[2]
