Wallace Poulter reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Road & Track Presents Grand Prix Unlimited is an extremely frustrating product. There is a gem of a design waiting to be discovered yet this excellent design work has been compromised by the implementation."
Clayton Walnum for Compute! said that despite the game's bad sound effects, "Grand Prix Unlimited is a solid – albeit not groundbreaking – racing simulation."
