In 2008, Stern praised the speed of the game and its puzzle solving, and heute praised it as a well-made nonviolent game for children. Secret Maryo Chronicles was selected in March 2009 as "HotPick" by Linux Format. An in-detail review of the Free Software Magazine in 2015 called the game a "great way to procrastinate".
