In PC Gamer US, Steve Poole offered Cyberbykes a negative review, writing, "The single-player game is a bust, and there are plenty of games with network support that are more fun than this."[1] Computer Game Review was similarly negative: the game has "not one shred of originality in game play, design or plot," the reviewers said.[2] Writing for Computer Gaming World, Peter Olafson compared the game unfavorably to other racing titles on the market, and called it "rather woeful and dated".[4] PC Zone's Charlton Brooker was harsher still, giving the game a "Pants" award and calling it "horrid".[3]
