The reviewer Tristan Ogilvie commented the game was "better-looking" and "smoother-playing", and approved the improvement of the series.

He praised the refined career mode, and commented "AO Tennis 2 is a heap of fun", but he felt AI players seemed to be invulnerable as they were often able to hit the ball from anywhere.

He rated the game "B", praising the developer Big Ant Studios learned from their last release AO Tennis.
