Metacritic 41% 26% 45%

Carsten Görig described the game on Spiegel Online as "simply unsuccessful" and criticized 007 Legends as "a cynical attempt to achieve maximum profit with a half-finished game and minimal development costs."

The game magazine 4Players rated the game as "poor". With the game "new depths of quality would be explored".

GamePro rated the game at 60%, judging the game to be "an interchangeable shooter that doesn't do the legendary agent justice in any way."

The website Areagames.de awarded 5 out of 10 points and wrote in a conclusion: “007 Legends is a tiring and unimportant shooter. For normal players. The game is an insult to James Bond fans. "

Gamereactor rated the game with 8 out of 10 points and praised "the action sequences and the great feel of the weapon". However, "the long loading times" and incomprehensible game situations "cost a lot of nerves." Overall, the game is "also recommended for non-Bond fans."
