Scorpia reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "If one has ever wanted to learn Mahjong, or one already is a Mahjong player with no local opponents, this game is well worth looking into. While nothing can beat sitting down with three live opponents, Hong Kong Mahjong Pro is the next best thing to it."[1]
