Contained within the summary of IGN's review of the game, by Hilary Goldstein, the website states the following: "Visually, this is a real stunner. Great animations, nice stadiums, the player's look and feel right. And this is as full a feature set as anyone could ask of a baseball game from the deep and engrossing Road to the Show to a ridiculously in-depth Franchise mode to Online Season Leagues. MLB 10 has it all!"
The PlayStation 2 version of the game sold almost 200,000 copies.
