Record Mirror wrote in a contemporary review, “After Led Zeppelin autographs and even before the Scorpions, Queen are the most exciting band I’ve ever seen or heard. And I’m sure all you lovers of quality music will agree.” Rolling Stone felt that it was “nice to hear a Queen signed memorabilia album with songs. Not ‘anthems’,” but opined that “these guys know how this music autographs should sound and feel, but they can’t bend enough to get with it.” The Washington Post gave a scathing review, writing.”After five years of unchallenging, dismal albums, this supposed to be Queen’s comeback. But no such luck.” Steve Taylor, writing for Smash Hits, equally as dismissive. Writing “sandwiched between two slabs of Queen’s usual symphonic and/or choral pomp-rock […] lies a filling of utterly unoriginal corn”.

Besides, Creem readers voted The Game the seventh greatest album of 1980. Nevertheless, the Grammy Awards in 1981, Queen and Mack were nominated for Producer of the Year. (Non-Classical) while “Another One Bites the Dust” nominated for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Queen received an American Music Award nomination for Favourite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group. While “Another One Bites the Dust” received the award for Favourite Pop/Rock Single.

AllMusic’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that the album’s “disco rock blends” showed a band that has “turned away from rock and toward pop”. “Turning decidedly, decisively pop, and it’s a grand; state-of-the-art circa 1980 pop album that still stands as one of the band’s most enjoyable records.” AllMusic would go on to name The Game Queen Vinyl best album of the 1980s. Evan Sawdey of PopMatters called The Game a “regular ol’ rock album”. In 2008. Out ranked the album number 28 of 100 in a poll of “more than 100 actors, comedians, musicians, writers, critics, performance artists, label reps, and DJs.
