Despite being considered the weakest game in the main series by review aggregators, ''Rayman 3'' is still as today a fan favourite and considered an underrated gem, and the fact that relatively very few professional critics reviewed the game is used as an explanation on why the game didn't receive a much higher score (in fact, the version of the game with the highest score is the [[Rayman 3 (Game Boy Advance)|GBA]] version, which is a 2D side-scrolling game with a plot similar to ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and with the same characters from the latter).

The game's impressive visuals and artistic style received universal praise. Its dialogue, voice acting and humour polarised reviewers, with some praising their wit, and others criticising them as annoying and grating. The gameplay was generally regarded as solid, but some criticised the game for focusing on combat and timer-based puzzles rather than platforming.
