According to the co-founders of Stainless Games, about two million copies of the ''Carmageddon'' series were sold in total.<ref name=makingof /> [[NPD Techworld]], a firm that tracked sales in the United States,<ref name=usnpd>{{cite web |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/gateway-notebook-goes-for-ratings/ |title=Gateway notebook goes for ratings |author=Spooner, John G. |date=June 13, 2003 |publisher=[[ZDNet]] |access-date=September 20, 2019}}</ref> reported 118,500 units sold of ''Carmageddon''{{'}}s computer version by December 2002.<ref name=controversial>{{cite magazine |author=Staff |title=The 10 Most Controversial PC Games of All Time |date=May 2003 |volume=10 |number=5 |magazine=[[PC Gamer US]] |pages=50, 51}}</ref>

''[[GameSpot]]'' was enamoured of the open ended, chaotic nature of the game, commenting that "''Carmageddon'' touches that particular collective nerve that fuses the wholesome popularity of the All-American Racing Game with the homicidal singularity of the 70s cult film into an onscreen experience that can only be compared to the kind of automotive mayhem that a five-year-old American male wreaks with his [[Matchbox (brand)|Matchbox]] and [[Hot Wheels]] cars."<ref name=gspc/> ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' stated that "if you're willing to sweep your morals under the rug for a while, and shamelessly commit auto homicide on a grand scale, then ''Carmageddon'' is an absolute blast."<ref name=NG>{{cite magazine |title=It Shreds |magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]] |issue=33 |publisher=[[Future US|Imagine Media]] |date=September 1997 |page=136}}</ref> ''[[GamePro]]'' gave a more mixed review, commenting that the game is intense and high on longevity, but that its focus on wanton destruction and gore is in questionable taste and ultimately to the detriment of the gameplay. They also found the graphics mediocre and the controls when using a keyboard to be "frustrating and sluggish".<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Dan | last=Elektro |title=PC GamePro Review: Carmageddon |magazine=[[GamePro]] |issue=109 |publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]] |date=October 1997 |page=110}}</ref>
