ActionTrip said: "When you look at all the good and bad sides of it, Gilbert Goodmate is still a nice adventure game that should be played. I might have been a bit harsh towards it in writing this review, but I sure had fun while playing it. Its technical aspects are definitely far from perfect, but its story and all other things most important in real adventure games make it worth a try". GameSpy wrote: "Gilbert Goodmate is not an epic adventure, it's not technically innovative or genre-bending and it's not particularly original. What it is, is a pleasant, whimsical adventure that provides a leisurely stroll down memory lane for people who yearn for the good old days. If you fit that description, Gilbert Goodmate is a no-brainer must-buy".
