Stuart Little: The Journey Home received mixed reviews. Jem Roberts of Total Game Boy praised the number of ways "the designers have crammed scenes from the film into plenty of exciting levels", whilst acknowledging the lack of longevity, stating "the lack of extras mean this isn't exactly a long-player". [6] Writing for Gaming Target, Ryan Smotherman stated that whilst the game's graphics were "very colorful and the characters animate well", the game lacked difficulty, noting "there still isn't much of a challenge to be found at the harder levels". [5] In contrast, Oliver Lan of Game Boy Xtreme dismissed the game for its "sheer, breathtaking absence of anything approaching gameplay", noting "there doesn't seem to be any enemies at all", and the low energy of racing segments, observing "it's the only racing game I've ever seen where you're encouraged to go as slowly as possible".
