The game received mostly positive reviews upon its release for the PlayStation. The most widely praised elements were the realistic graphics and animation[1][2][3] and the comprehensiveness of the modes and features;[1][2][3] GameSpot called it "the most thoroughly complete console baseball game ever."[1] The unprecedented two-man commentary was also met with general approval,[1][2][3] though some found the low frame rate interferes with the gameplay.[1][2] Next Generation stated that "The game still has some flaws with the AI, a slow frame-rate, and too much delay between batters, but in the end there is no baseball game on PlayStation that can even come close to Triple Play in graphics or playability."[2] GamePro gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for control and a perfect 5.0 in every other category (graphics, sound, and fun factor), assessing, "Tuned for novices and pros alike, the gameplay's rewarding and fun, and really brings to life the intensity of the pitcher-batter confrontation."[3]

Electric Playground's Tommy Tallarico gave the game an 8.5, while co-host Victor Lucas gave it a 9.0.[4]
