Reviewers praised ''Rayman Origins'' for its vibrant and detailed cartoon graphics, as well as its fittingly whimsical soundtrack. The gameplay was considered well-balanced, offering both an accessible experience for new players and a satisfying challenge for experienced ones. The decision to add co-operative multiplayer to the series was well-received. Criticism focused on the lack of a clear storyline in the game, and the chaotic nature of the gameplay when three or four people are playing simultaneously.

The game was initially thought to have been a commercial failure, as it sold an underwhelming 50,000 copies in the first month following its November 2011 release. However, sales later increased considerably, and in February 2012, Ubisoft announced that the game had already become profitable, and had the capacity to become a long-term seller for the company.<ref>Joystiq, ''Rayman Origins is actually profitable for Ubisoft'', http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/15/rayman-origins-is-actually-profitable-for-ubisoft/</ref>
