Reception
The game received mixed reviews among critics. Reviews for the DS version were generally more positive, with the Wii version receiving big criticism on use of controls.

At worst, they are a mess of poorly-implemented waggle controls.", about the Wii version, and "At best, the mini-games of MySims Party offer a simple diversion for children. At worst, they are an uninspired cash-in trying to coast on Electronic Arts' MySims property." for the DS version. However, they praised the "single-card multiplayer" mode.
