GameSpot gave it a 7.0 out of 10, praising the graphics, soundtrack and the price, but criticizing the car's physics. A Next Generation critic hailed it as "one of the first PC racing games to achieve console-like frame rates and outstanding arcade control". He commented positively on the variety of tracks, the texture maps, the techno soundtrack, the multiplayer modes, and the fact that the enemy AI is designed to make occasional mistakes, and scored the game 4 out of 5 stars. Air Hendrix of GamePro commented: "Screamer 2 screeches onto the PC with the kind of addictive fender-bashing found in console titles like Daytona. But here's the catch: To get both decent graphics and speed on this track, you really need something in the Pentium 166 range". He particularly noted the realistically moving cars and the need to play in lo-res mode when using medium-level hardware. Coming Soon Magazine rated it 89/100, praising both the game play and the graphics.
