''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' received generally positive reviews during its release. Gaming magazine ''[[Wikipedia:Mega (magazine)|Mega]]'' gave it a 90% score, calling it a "devilish addictive game which even haters of all things ''Sonic''-related will love."<ref name="Mega"/> ''[[Wikipedia:Sega Saturn Magazine|Sega Magazine]]'' also praised the game's multiplayer modes for being "excellent fun" and called it one of the best puzzle games available for the [[Sega Mega Drive]].<ref name="SegaMagazine"/>

In numerous re-releases and compilations, the game has received positive scores as well. Tom Bramwell of [[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]] described the game in ''[[Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]'' as "pretty superfluous when the Mega Drive version's already in amongst the 16-bit Greatest Hits brigade."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bramwell|first=Tom|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_sonicmegacollectionplus_ps2|title=Sonic Mega Collection Plus review|publisher=[[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]]|date=8 Febuary 2005 |accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> Fran Mirabella from [[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] described ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'' in ''[[Sonic Mega Collection]]'' as a little diversity in the rest,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mirabella|first=Fran|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/11/12/sonic-mega-collection|title=Sonic Mega Collection|publisher=[[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]|date=12 November 2002|accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> while Lucas M. Thomas said the game had aged well, especially in the audio department, during the review of the game's re-release for the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console. Thomas also stated that "the differences between ''[[Wikipedia:Kirby's Avalance|Kirby's Avalanche]]'' and ''Dr. Robotnik''{{'}}s [Mega Drive] edition aren't major or important enough that fans should skip this."<ref name="IGN"/>

On the negative side, Jeremy Parish of [[Wikipedia:1Up.com|1Up.com]] claimed the game was a strange choice in the collection since its original incarnation, ''Puyo Puyo'', had been introduced in America during that time.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Parish|first=Jeremy|url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/sonic-mega-collection_3|title=Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2)|publisher=[[Wikipedia:1UP.com|1UP.com]]|date=29 November 2004|accessdate=5 September 2016}}</ref> Damien McFerran of [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Life|Nintendo Life]] stated the CPU in Scenario Mode was a "decent challenge but it's only fun for a while,"<ref name="Nintendolife"/> while Aaron Thomas of [[Wikipedia:Gamespot|GameSpot]] claimed the game mechanics were easy, but also that the game quickly got difficult after two levels.<ref name="Gamespot"/>
