Reception

JeuxActu stated that "Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo is a nice improvement over the previous rally games from Milestone. With an arcady touch, the game's strength is its content and its ease of use, while more experienced players will head over to Codemasters' Dirt Rally."^[9] GameStar agreed, saying that it was a "challenging rally simulation with Loeb bonus, but inferior to Dirt Rally in all aspects."^[10]

The game reached number 19 in the UK sales charts.^[11]
