The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[3] Next Generation said, "As a whole, Emergency shows promise but has too many individual flaws to be a worthwhile purchase. The developers should be commended for an original idea, but the execution is poor. We hope they've learned from their mistakes and their next effort will be a bit more polished."[9]
