Nicole Tanner of IGN gave the game a mediocre score, criticizing it for annoying actors and short gameplay. Tanner stated "Squiggle away from this game... far, far, away," and summed up her review by saying "SpongeBob SquigglePants is a game that young kids who are already SpongeBob fans might find entertaining for an afternoon. Some of the mini-games pay homage to classic arcade games in a cool way, but the live actor will almost certainly make you want to punch something. With the wealth of SpongeBob games already available, there's no reason to shell out the money for what is essentially a WarioWare rip-off that requires an additional peripheral purchase to boot."
