On the video game [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[GameRankings]], ''M&M's Break' Em'' received a 56% ranking based on four critic reviews.<ref name="gamerankings"/> ''[[IGN]]''{{'}}s Chris Adams believedgave the game a "mediocre" rating, believing it to be inferior to its inspiration, ''Gem Smashers'', which he recommended purchasing instead. However, Adams wrote that the gameplay "is still a nice blend of casual controls and deeper gameplay mechanics", and complimented the inclusion of boss battles as being "pretty unique" for a puzzle game, despite noting repetition in the fights.<ref name="IGN"/> Aaron Roberts of ''Nintendojo'' praised the "exciting gameplay and the familiar charm of the M&M's characters".<ref name="nintendojo"/> However, Mike David of ''GameZone'' criticized the gameplay as being "too easy".

''IGN'' offered a more negative response toward the game's visuals and audio, describing the art as "half-assed" and the [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]]s as "ugly and poorly rendered", in addition to deeming the music and sound effects "barely noticeable". ''IGN'' further noted that every time an M&M is knocked out, it flies toward the screen and briefly obscures the player character, potentially causing the player to lose track of them.<ref name="IGN"/> ''GameZone'' also criticized the graphics and audio, stating that the former were "pretty poor to look at" and referring to the latter as "more of an afterthought than anything", as well as noting an absence of [[voice acting]] for the characters.<ref name="gamezone"/> Nintendojo also acknowledged the lack of voice work in the [[cutscene]]s, though wrote that "[t]he background music is quite appropriate and actually fairly enjoyable".
