PC PowerPlay lambasted the concept of blending real hardships faced by hunters in a controversial sport with the farce of the Redneck Rampage franchise and called Redneck Deer Huntin' a rushed game powered by an antiquated engine with low-quality environments and a dull experience.

"[5] GameStar also found the crude graphics to be problematic for distant objects and chasing prey to soon become boring and considered the game a form of cheap entertainment lacking obvious enjoyable features.

[4] Power Play was fascinated by then-recent player interest in hunting games such as Redneck Deer Huntin', which it considered so bland and purposeless that even a Windows screensaver is more exciting.

[9] Reset criticized the game's sound design and lack of realism, finding it limited to running and shooting against a three-minute timer.

[2] In contrast to the negative consensus among critics, PCmanía's review was positive, finding the game suitable for fans of hunting simulators, only lamenting the choice of a dated engine such as Build and sprites for imagery.
