The reviews for the game's release have been mixed. At Metacritic , Chimparty achieved a rating of 63/100 points, based on 5 reviews from the international trade press. In the reviews of the trade press, the simple operation using a smartphone or tablet computer , the humorous presentation as well as the family suitability and inclusion of children are emphasized. The lack of long-term motivation, caused by the frequent repetition of the game mechanics, and the simple mini-games are critically noted.
“Unfortunately, Chimparty can't really challenge even the worse parts of the Mario Party series. But not only is there a lack of depth in the mini-games, they are also too similar or often only modifications and variations. But for a few rounds with good friends, Chimparty is still fun. There is no need for a long introduction to the controls and everybody has a cell phone to hand these days anyway. So if you are really looking for party games for the Playstation, you can take a look. "
“If you're looking for a party game that you can play with your kids and that offers intuitive gameplay, you can't go wrong with Chimparty. Adult gamers can safely pass this monkey game by. For kids it is certainly a fun togetherness. "
