Reception

IGN gave Balloon Pop an overall rating of 4.7 out of 10, calling it "a puzzle game that rips off many previous titles but forgot to borrow some challenge."
In a 3 out 5 star review, GamesRadar concluded "until the Wii's software library offers better options for the price, it's a decent choice for genre dabblers and those seeking a simple diversion."
