Tristan Ogilvie of IGN gave the game a score of 7.5/10, praising the visuals, the court gimmicks, and the multiplayer mode, but criticized the story mode (considering it bare-bones, with nothing making it a fresh and satisfying experience), and also criticized the way local multiplayer works, stating "The biggest problem with ''Mario Tennis Aces''{{'}}[s] Adventure mode is how poorly it incentivises you to keep playing. I had completed all 27 of its levels and unlocked all of its courts and rackets by the time I was on level 34, which was around a half a dozen hours of game time. Out of curiosity, I replayed a number of the challenges and boss fights several more times over to grind my way up to level 55, but was rewarded with absolutely nothing aside from incremental boosts to Mario's stats, thus making the existing challenges even easier. With no New Game+ or more challenging versions of its levels to unlock, or even the option of playing through it with a different character, ''Mario Tennis Aces''{{'}}[s] Adventure mode becomes increasingly simple and repetitive the more time you put into it."<ref>Ogilvie, Tristan (June 20, 2018) [http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/06/20/mario-tennis-aces-review Review of ''Mario Tennis Aces''] ''IGN''. Retrieved June 21, 2018.</ref> In a more positive review, Mike Diver of Nintendo Life gave the game an 8/10, praising what he believed to be vast improvements over its Wii U predecessor ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]'', stating "Where [''Mario Tennis:''] ''Ultra Smash''{{'}}s extras were a pure Monkey Island's worth of living without that particular piece of junk – here's your context, kids – [''Mario Tennis''] ''Aces'' stuffs its kit bag with activities until the zip's positively pinging off across the locker room like a smartly volleyed can of energy drink. Not everything is evenly fleshed out, but whatever your preferential way to play, there's plenty to get stuck into, both solo and with pals."<ref>Diver, Mike (June 20, 2018) [http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/nintendo-switch/mario_tennis_aces Mario Tennis Aces Review: Super Grand Slam Brothers] Nintendo Life. Retrieved June 21, 2018.</ref> In a slightly more lukewarm review, Justin Clark of GameSpot gave the game an 7/10, praising the game's new playing mechanics over past games as well as the story mode's incentive to teach players of the new mechanics, but had mixed to somewhat positive feelings about the story mode, stating "The story itself is ridiculous, but ridiculous in that very specific, quirky way Nintendo has been getting away with for decades. During the Mushroom Kingdom's annual tennis tournament, an evil tennis racket--yes, really--named Lucien takes possession of Luigi and flies off to find five Power Stones that will help him take over the world."
