IGN.com gave Mysterious Journey II: Chameleon a 6.8/10:

"To be honest, I had very low expectations when I was asked to review this title. I played Schizm and was less than impressed. It scored a fabulous 3 out of 10 from me. I cited the impossibly difficult puzzles and a lame story as my reasons for slamming the game so hard. The developers did a great job improving the story in Mysterious Journey II, but I was still left as frustrated with the puzzles as I was in the original. While a beautiful, deep and interesting world awaits on this Journey, I would still not recommend this title unless you play adventure games for the stories they tell and no other reason."

Gamezilla gave Mysterious Journey II a lower score, criticizing its puzzle designs production value:

"Much like the actual puzzles, the visuals in MJII are both hit and miss. The environments look beautiful, with sweeping locales and believable, yet fantastic settings, but the character design leaves a lot to be desired. Imagine characters from an ill-fated 1950’s B-movie in outrageous costumes that could find its way to a local rave."
