Computer Gaming World in 1993 called The Lost Vikings "a clever blend of comedy and role playing". The magazine concluded that "the game is a unique puzzle solving adventure, great for people who enjoy using their cerebral cortex along with their eye to hand coordination". Zach Meston of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment praised the difficult puzzles, humor, distinctive visual style, personable character animation, and upbeat music. He summarized the game as "funny, fresh and challenging enough to keep you playing for hours on end".

In the Super Power Club bonus supplement in Nintendo Power V56, the game was ranked #7 in the Top 10 Super NES Games of 1993. The game later won "Most Innovative Game" in the 1993 Nintendo Power Awards.
