The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] Greg Orlando of NextGen said, "Although a variant on [Monster Rancher and Monster Rancher 2], Monster Rancher Battle Card [Episode II] holds none of their whimsical fun."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[6]
The D-Pad Destroyer of GamePro said of the game, "Fans of the Monster Rancher cartoon series and PlayStation owners dying for a video card game would do well to pick up Battle Card. It's a harmless, fun card battle that requires strategy, quick thinking, and an inexhaustible appetite for cute gladiators doing what they do best - kicking ass."[13][lower-alpha 2] Bro Buzz said that the game "gets some juice from the cool, if bizarre-looking, combatants and some basic-but-action-packed animation that illustrates the various cards. The lively music makes for a credible effort to party, too, although there's just too much boring dialogue in between cards. If you're game for a change o' pace or a strategy challenge, you might just find them in these cards."[14][lower-alpha 3]
