Daniel Waite at Movies Game and Tech wrote a review of Scrap Garden, "It’s a cute story full of interesting characters and humourous[ sic ] moments, but it’s old hat. I could have heard this story in any other game and I’d know what to expect. Even though I wasn’t captivated by the storyline, this doesn’t mean I disliked the gameplay." [12]
