The game holds a 30% rating on Metacritic for the PS2 version of the game[9] and a 34% rating for the Xbox version of the game.[10]
GamerFeed rates the PS2 version of the game a 1.5 out of 5 stating "AMF Xtreme Bowling 2006 tries so hard to be liked, but it's trying in too few areas. It goes more for the flash-in-the-pan presentation rather than on the gameplay, where it struggles completely by being merely nothing at all. Had more emphasis been on the actual bowling, its physics, and the fun of multiplayer, we would be getting somewhere. As is, the game's just a flash-in-the-pan cheaper title that even bowling zealots should avoid. Just do the real thing instead" [11]
IGN gave the game a 2 out of 10 stating "With graphics and sound that do nothing to enhance the package, AMF Xtreme Bowling 2006 isn't just a gutter ball, it's tossing a shot seven lanes over, and crashing it through the floor"[3]
Jon Miller of IGN listed the game at number 9 of his favorite games of 2006.[12]
